lyrics

I’m going to crash my car right into a lake
I’m going to stop my heart for Jesus’ sake
Going to give my energy back to the world
You need a jumpstart from a young heart

There’s a drop of blood at the end of the day
A pinprick of light a million miles away
Some call it hope and some call it faith
My Lord’s a lady

She’s the light bulb in your basement when the spider’s got you scared
And she’ll open all your wounds so they will properly be repaired
And when you’re making all your smoke signals, she’ll be there to fan the flames
And if you ever do her wrong, she’s going to race you to your grave

Well, I thought she was the Devil
But she was as sweet as summer sun
But she’ll break every one of your fingers
If she thinks that you are making fun

Now the hounds in my head are starting to bark
And they’re growing in number as the city grows dark
And I’m breaking down while she’s building up
My Lord will save me, come on baby

Now them highways are a bloodbath
They are as a dark as they are long
With every charred and burning animal
Only moistens the serpent’s tongue

Their innocence and instinct
Are only getting in the way
Maybe if they could speak their minds
Then we would listen to what they have to say
