Ryan Ross - I Constantly Thank God for Esteban lyrics

[Verse 1] Give us this day our daily dose of faux affliction Forgive our sins Forged at the pulpit with forked tongues selling faux sermons Because I am a new wave gospel sharp, and you'll be thy witness So gentlemen, if you are going to preach, for God sakes preach with conviction! [Chorus] (x2) Strike up the band! Whoa-oh, the conductor is beckoning Come congregation, let us sing it like you mean it No, don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you... move [Post-Chorus] Just stay where I can see you Douse the lights! ...We sure are in for a show tonight [Verse 2] In this little number we are graced by two displays of character We have got: the gunslinger extraordinaire vs. walking contradictions And I for one can see no blood from the hearts and the wrists you allegedly slit And I for one will not stand for this, if this scene were a parish, you'd all be condemned [Chorus] (x2) Strike up the band! Whoa-oh, the conductor is beckoning Come congregation, let us sing it like you mean it No, don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you... move [Bridge] (x2) Just stay where I can see you Douse the lights! ...We sure are in for a show tonight Stay where I can see you Douse the lights! [Chorus] Strike up the band! Whoa-oh, the conductor is beckoning Come congregation, let us sing it like you mean it No, don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you... move
