I was born an only boy Away from palm of water Never heard of right or wrong I was given words to use But I knew I was different They wanted me to play along
How much fear can I keep Locked away inside me Will all these words Disguise my pain When all your scriptures fell And leave us in the open I will survive and try again
Here comes the holy roller Here comes the book of life Don't come knockin' round here 'Cause you ain't no friend of mine Here comes the ghost of holy He comes to twist your mind Don't come knockin' round here 'Cause you ain't no friend Ain't no friend of mine
What is the price that you've put On your own salvation Count the costs for savin' souls Where is the sense in all this Door-to-door damantion When you're just left out in the cold
