Leave Me Behind
Point me to the down staircase, where I can get my hustle on
I miss all the card tricks and the cheap wine
And keep those tricky little fingers away from my heart and mind
Lead me to the other sinners sitting away from the fire
And see the angels fly, they never even said goodbye
To their heavens in the sky-with god’s favorites and his fortunate’s you’re the apple in god’s eye
Point me to the other lost their ways, where I can get my soup line huddle on
I miss all those doomed and desperate days set to waltz time
And leave us Charlie Chaplain’s beautiful mistakes and leave us with our madness, shivers and our shakes, and you keep all those pinched and pious faces with their end time games
Leave me behind – take your megamall churches with y’all
Leave me with the sinners and the beggars and the blind
Leave me behind, keep your television priests and voodoo dolls
You go on now and leave me behind
See the angels fly…
To there heavens in the sky…
Leave me behind, take the lightless-eyed and the cattle-called
Leave me with the sinners and the deviated kind
Leave me behind, take your power point bible super show
And you go one now and leave me behind
