Coffee and Bibles - iiCaptain

Bottles and bibles Litter the floor An all night revival Passed out around 4:00 Now the preacher's been drinkin' But it's hard not to do Since she ran out the screen door And swore they were through Oh Lord, if you care, send a spirit down here 'Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow When everybody in town points a finger at you But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled They don't know you at all, but they think that they do He didn't believe her He just knew she'd come home But the nights kept a-crawlin' As he laid there alone He'd call up to Heaven He'd hope and he'd pray But the line's always busy Since he went astray Oh Lord, if you care, won't you answer his prayers 'Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow When everybody in town points a finger at you But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled They don't know you at all, but they think that they do Now the bottles and bibles Broke out in a fight The whiskey fought hard, son And took the victory that night They found him a-layin' Face down by the stairs Dressed up for a sermon Nobody would hear Oh Lord, if you care, send your angels down here 'Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow When everybody in town points a finger at you But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled They don't know you at all, but they think that they do So Lord, if you care, send your angels down here 'Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again

Coffee cups and cigarettes Upon the balcony A lost philosophy Breaking down A summer frown has got the best of me Won't you confess to me? You don't need me To function anymore Take the keys and lock the door You don't need me To function anymore Take the keys and lock the door I'm going out of my mind A glass of wine At five to nine in the morning The clearest warning Pop your pills As the day is barely dawning I lie there yawning Take a look at me now I never really made you proud I've been floating on the clouds of black and grey So just leave me here like this Without a lovers goodbye kiss You know I'd only take the piss I'm going out of my mind You don't need me To function anymore Take the keys and lock the door You don't need me To function anymore Take the keys and lock the door I'm going out of my mind
