I was there I heard the crackling of the palms He came upstairs and had the curtains drawn This is my body Keep your stomachs full This is my blood Let's get drunk on soul
Got me in a sleeperhold And you won't let me go Blessed are those who have no clothes For sunlight is their fashion And blessed is he who sleeps on the streets But his roof is sheltering sky And blessed be the broken one For whom grace daily unfolds
Got me in a sleeperhold And you won't let me go I was dropped down on a dirt brown field I watched the sun rise over me I wanted the heavens to open like a saloon door But all I heard was a cock crow What have I done? I cried inside And my spine turned ice cold
Got me in a sleeperhold And you won't let me go
I'm tapping out I'm tapping out I'm tapping out Cause it's all too beautiful
I'm blacking out I'm blacking out I'm blacking out But I don't want to go I'm blacking out But I don't want to go
