Hey preacher man, what’s the word down on the street? “The Lord is comin’, better get down on your knees Better watch your step and the air you breathe Better say your prayers to be redeemed Oh to be redeemed”
Well I, I told him I had Jesus Christ last night In the back room of a low down dirty dive He said, “Don’t worry baby, it’s all right Just take a tip from Judas and deny Oh and just deny”
Chorus I know I should save my soul I know time will take its toll I know I should not give in But baby it just feels so good to sin
An angel on my shoulder, a devil on my back Temptation in my blood, it’s flowing fast The angel says, “Turn the other cheek,” But the devil says, “Revenge is oh so sweet Yeah it’s oh so sweet”
Chorus
So I was walkin’ down the street in the rain and this fella pulls up and he says, “Hey baby, you look like you could use a ride,” and I say, “Sure, why not,” so I get I the car and I tell him, “Just a few blocks will be fine,” but he says, “No baby, I’m takin’ you for a ride.” Next thing I know he pulls up in an alley, There’s a knife at my throat, there’s a knife in his back And there’s blood on my hands, and I say to myself, “I think I just killed a man.”
Hey father father, I killed a man tonight How ‘bout six Hail Mary’s, will that fix me up right? He says “Genuflect before the Lord,” And I say, “Just like I did two nights before?” Oh two nights before
