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
