letra de portrait of an evangelist - the wages of sin

Loading...

from god’s lips
upon that mountain
barren peak
above the trees

he said: “preach
my word to sinners
bring this world
down to its knees
bring this world
down to its knees”

you may wonder how i got to foggy [?]
drinkin’ with this filthy bourgeosie
i didn’t choose this life, i was chosen
an instrument of god and destiny!

they say my mama cut a pretty figure
before she died givin’ birth to me
and my daddy made a livin’ tannin’ leather
and every night he’d tan the hide off me

i heard it from god’s lips upon that mountain
when i reached the barren peak above the trees
he said: “go down and prеach my word to sinners
and bring this wicked world to its knees”
i drifted whеn i got out of high school
and i found myself in frankfort, tennessee
but the smokey mountain crossing i had chosen
left me cold and lonely and diseased

i crossed the ridge and ended up in nashville
then i caught the first train to dc
i [?] across and set my mind to preachin’
and the christian right, they took a shine to me

i heard it from god’s lips upon that mountain
when i reached the barren peak above the trees
he said: “go down and preach my word to sinners
and bring this wicked world to its knees”

now senators and swindlers and s-d-sts
i put their guilty consciences at ease
by day i walk the hallowed halls of power
spewin’ out my pious sanctity

by night i stalk the ballrooms and the bathrooms
consortin’ with these prostitutes and thieves
’cause the way to heaven’s paved with l-st and power
and no one’s gonna get a step on me

i heard it from god’s lips upon that mountain
reached the barren peak above the trees
he said: “go down and preach my word to sinners
and bring this wicked world to its knees”
bring this wicked world to its knees
bring this wicked world to its knees

- the wages of sin
