Pentacostal

MARK LANEGAN · Black Pudding 2013 · Track 01 of 10

Written by Duke Garwood, Mark Lanegan

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 killing 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
