Down so long now Jesus
You know I been down so long
Far turned out and freezing
Won't you carry my body home
This is why I came
To live a life in a day
With a fire in my head
Who's got the keys to the workhouse?
Satan has locked the door
Got no wings to take us
Up off of that k**ing floor
Is this why you came?
To handle a snake
And wear a new starry crown
There's no phoenix rising
To a mansion up on the hill
This albatross I'm riding
Is a train just standing still
This is how I came
With a stench and a stain
To be washed in the blood
