all you sinners

 

What have we here then... not the happiest lyrics I’ve ever penned. Upon later reflection I think it rings of self indulgence, but I still stand with the chorus.



Sunshine breaks into the room steals the sleep right from my eyes

Empty bottles by the bed dreams of angels in disguise

Wake up heavy stiff  & sore climb down the gallows tree

Sometime s I feel like jesus sometimes he feels like me


Lock the door & walk away from torn & crumpled sheets

Like the weeds I’m hangin’ on through cracks in the concrete

Flowers pray up to the sun when heavy steps tread near

Sometimes I find the words to say but no one’s left to hear


(chorus)    So come on all you sinners

                Don’t try to second guess

                Just play your cards now as they lay

                Your deal is comin’ yet

                I’m tired of all the saviors Christ I’m sick of all the saints

                Their holy cows their sacred vows their prayers & their complaints


It’s sinkin’ thinkin’ drinkin’ dust & love what makes it real

One more day’s another chance a chance to make a deal

Maybe I’ll find some friend of mine some girl I used to know

May be love it may be lost but it’ll do right now


(chorus)    So come on all you sinners

                Don’t try to second guess

                Just play your cards now as they lay

                Your deal is comin’ yet

                I’m tired of all the saviors Christ I’m sick of all the saints

                Their holy cows their sacred vows their prayers & their complaints
