If you wanna get to heaven let me tell you how. Keep your hand on the gospel plow, hold on, hold on, hold on. Mary had a golden chain. Every link spelled Jesus' name, hold on, hold on, hold on.
This is for footsteps approaching the night. They keep themselves moving and do what is right. Now watch what you gather and hold in your hand. Numbers are many, misunderstand.
Come in under fallen galaxies. Keeping heaven and earth apart. All the skin, it can crawl all over me. You're watching me crawl from the start. . Destinations end.
All these dyin' days. I walk the ghost town. Used to be my city. I seen a holy man. Seen him cryin' with the Mother Mary. All these dyin' days. . Yes it's too late.
Torn like an old dollar bill. Girl let them say, what they will. That no one should hurt you and that's all I seem to do. That no one should desert you, that's all I seem to do.
Don't you try to find me any more, I want to stay. Outside of your world this time you've thrown it all away. . That was one mistake I never thought you'd make.
Born to work under the way your velvet lies. Smoke and fog, getting hazy in the sky, arise. . I've been where you've never been. I've seen what you never seen.
Changin' memories, they fade away. The hours and the days. While in the sunshine, the sunshine bright. I kept you on my mind. . Cry, cry butterfly. Heard it on wings that you're goin' to die.
Count the miles before they pass you by. Shadow of the sun has crossed the sky. Fill your head with everything you find. . Beyond this horizon. Beyond this horizon.
Where do you stand when it's all over?. Washed from the earth and down to the sea. Do you lie in a bed of roses?. . Are you still aware?. Guess that you don't care about it now.
Bite the thorn that pierce the skin. Come back down to earth again. The cold is creeping deep inside. You disconnect the telephone line. . Gotta get away.
Alice said to, "Come on in now it's time for bed. The hour's quite late I need a nap to clear my head". And later down, the pillow softly calls to me.
So much blood I'm starting to drown. Runs from cold to colder. Time to time the sky's come down. To help me lose my way. . Tears and lies for answers.
For clear space and soundness of mind. I've let you play me for some time. One can only receive and retain. But the lies you recite for your gain. . So you rely on my faith in your kind.
I went down to St James Infirmary. Saw my baby there. She was stretched out on a long white table. So cold, so sweet, so sweet, so fair. . Let her go, let her go, God bless her.
I went down to the St. James Infirmary. so my baby there. She was stretched out on a long, white table.. So calm, so sweet, so sweet, so fare. . Let it go, let it go,.
