Now if this will be my last ride
Lordy Lawd my Lord for thee
Oh, take my weakness and my fear
Oh take it just away from me
There's an empty chair in heaven
There's an empty chair in hell
Oh, both they had my name on it
And both might suit me well
Wonder what that means to me
I hear voices in my head
You'll get no conclusion boy
Not the second before you're dead
Wonder where I'm heading to
There is some knocking on the door
Jesus walks in with some beer
But I don't want that anymore
Down the meadows & the motels
Captured on my own
Went down to the poolroom
It's my mother on the phone
Went down to the prison
They've got satelite TV
This has been my last ride
Dear old Lord, my Lord for thee!
Riding in a casket
New boots on my feet
Oh, angels waiting languidely
For me beneath my seat
Wonder where I'm going to
What duty has been mine
Did I divide the water, Jesus
Did I spill the wine?
I might get may lazy boy
Might get my mercy seat
They both had my name on it
Did me no good to cheat
Wonder what that means to me
And what I should confess
Jesus is on facebook now
And there's no heaven in my GPS
Down the meadows & the motels
Captured on my own
Went down to the poolroom
It's my mother on the phone
Went down to the prison
They've got satelite TV
This has been my last ride
Dear old Lord, my Lord for thee!

Oh my heart it is crying
And my mind sure it is dying
Well I know your name
Well I know your grave
Well I know your grave
Well I know where you're lying
In the middle of the sky
Oh my heart it is crying
And my mind well it is dying
Well I know your name
And I know you are Jesus
Well I know you are Jesus
And so am I
And we are all one
Oh my heart it is crying
And my mind sure it is dying
And I know your name
Ah I know your name

In the middle of the sky
Oh my heart it is crying
And my mind well it is dying
Well I know your name

I am falling apart
I am falling apart
Just one piece at the time
Just one piece at the time
I spent my life on a ride
Hiding from the light
I keep on falling apart
I keep on talking to myself
I keep on talking to myself
But I don't understand
These word don't make any sense
I spent my life on a ride
Hiding from the light
I keep on talking to myself
I spit it my teeth in your grave
I spit it my teeth in your grave
Where I feel sound and safe
Where I feel sound and safe
I spent my life on the ride
Hiding from the light
I keep on talking to myself
I keep on falling apart
I keep on falling apart
Just one piece at the time
Just one piece at the time
I spent my life on a ride
Hiding from the light
I keep on falling apart

Down the Mississippi
03:23
|
|||
Tied up, gagged and a candle
in a trailer RV
And that purple dressed lady
is dripping hot wax on me
Down the Mississippi
the girl she was so pretty
And even though she whipped me
I'm stuck in Memphis city
And now it's such a pity
that I won't come back home
Now I'm lost on my own
She put a spell on my bone
She drove it under my skin
Worst place that I've ever been
Sign on the wall says, "Volunteer State"
Dead bird on the floor, dog food in a cage
Man, lawdy lawd, I'm so far away from home
T'was a diner in Memphis
She said her name was Elaine
And the weather forecast
said'll be thunder and rain
Two golden teeth and as rad as heck
Tight as the rope around a guilty man's neck
She grabbed my hand and said let's get goin astray
And now I'm lost on my own
She put a spell on my bone
She drove it under my skin
Worst place that I've ever been
Sign on the wall says, "Volunteer State"
Dead bird on the floor, dog food in a cage
Man, lawdy lawd, I'm so far away from home
Now my temperature's sinking
I guess my race it is gone
Met my fate and I'm thinking
about the deeds that I've done
She grabbed my mind cut a slice of me
Kept me alive but I wish that she
cut through my throat and let me get going back home
But I'm lost on my own
She put a spell on my bone
She drove it under my skin
Worst place that I've ever been
Down the Mississippi
The girl she was so pretty
And even though she hit me
I'm stuck in Memphis city
And now it's such a pity
That I won't come back home
Down the Mississippi
The girl she was so pretty
And even though she hit me
I'm stuck in Memphis city
And now it's such a pity
That I won't come back home

Ich steig in die Bahn
02:06
|
|||
Ja, ich steig in die Bahn
Die Leute gaffen mich an
bis es juckt oder knarrt
Hab ich Marmelade an der Nase
oder Eigelb im Bart
oder was ist so hart
an meiner Visage
dass ihr mich so anstarrt?
Also steig ich halt aus
Ich geh wieder nach Haus
Ich geh heut nicht zur Arbeit
sondern tobe mich aus
hol das Jagdgewehr raus aus dem Schrank
und ich gehe hinaus
die Straße entlang bis zur Bahn
Ja ich steig in die Bahn
Die Leute starren mich an
Ich geh heut nicht zur Arbeit
sondern tobe mich aus
hol das Jagdgewehr raus aus dem Schrank
und ich gehe hinaus
die Straße entlang bis zur Bahn
Ja, ich steig in die Bahn
Die Leute gaffen mich an
bis es juckt oder knarrt
Hab ich Marmelade an der Nase
oder Eigelb im Bart
oder was ist so hart
an meiner Visage
dass ihr mich so anstarrt?
Also steig ich halt aus
Ich geh wieder nach Haus
Ich geh heut nicht zur Arbeit
sondern tobe mich aus
hol das Jagdgewehr raus aus dem Schrank
und ich gehe hinaus
die Straße entlang bis zur Bahn

I am a stranger here below
And what I am is hard to know
I am so vile, so prone to sin
I fear that I'm not born again
When I experience the call to mind
My understandig was so blind
All feeling sense seems to be gone
Which makes me think that I am wrong
T'is seldom I will ever see
Myself as I would wish to be
What I desire I can't attain
From what I hate I can't refrain
So by experience I do know
There's nothing good that I can do
I cannot satisfy the law
Nor hope nor comfort from it draw
I find myself out of the way
My thoughts are often gone astray
Like me alone I seem to be
Oh is there anyone like me
Like one alone I seem to be
Oh is there anyone like me
