Heathen and Hell (The Preacher) - DeaR

Well the preacher went out a huntin' it was on one Sunday morn It was against his religion but he took a shotgun along He got himself a mess almighty fine quail and one old scraggly hare And on the way home he crossed the path of a Great big grizzly bear Well the bear got down lookin' ready to charge The preacher never seen nothin' quite that large They looked each other right smack in the eye Didn't take that preacher long to say bye The preacher he run till he spotted a tree He said up in that tree's where I auta be By the time that bear made a grab for him The preacher was a sittin' on top a that limb Scared to death he tuned about He looked to the sky and began to shout Hey Lord you delivered Daniel from the bottom of the lion's den You delivered Joana from the belly of the whale and then The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace so the good books do declare Hey Lord if you can't help me for goodness sake don't help that bear Yaah look out preacher Well about that time the limb broke off and the preacher came tumblin' down Had a straight razor out of his pocket by the time he lit on the ground He landed on his feet right in front a that bear and Lord what an awful fight The preacher and the bear and the razor and the hair flyin' from left to right Well first they was up and then they was down The preacher and the bear runnin' round and round The bear he roared and the the preacher he groaned He was havin' a tough time holdin' his own He said Lord if I get out a here alive To the good book I'll abide No more huntin' on the Sabbath day Come Sunday I'm headin' to the church to pray Up to the heavens the preacher glanced He said oh Lord won't you give me one more chance Then his suspenders gave away And he knocked that bear ten feet away Then the preacher got up and made a bound To the tree where he'd be safe and sound Pulled himself up and turned about Cast his eyes to the skies and he did shout Hey Lord you delivered Daniel from the bottom of the lion's den...

Words fall from my mouth Like plates from shaking hands Smash upon the silence Of the smooth naked canal I'm evil and a heathen I'm evil and a heathen I'm a heathen and evil like you There's not a lot Not a lot I couldn't do I like how you pretend That the end will be the end So fill your thirst Drink a curse To the death of death instead I'm evil and a heathen I'm evil and a heathen I'm a heathen and evil like you There's not a lot Not a lot I wouldn't do Utrecht led me to the Sacre Coeur Where the smoke curled round Now the ice blows off Lake Michigan When the ice blows The ice flows knocks you down Your teeth are black with wine As you place those lips on mine And the moon hangs heavy and forbidden high On the night of our lives I'm evil and a heathen I'm evil and a heathen I'm a heathen and evil like you There's not a lot Not a lot we couldn't do

On top of the sky Is a place where you go If you've done nothing wrong If you've done nothing wrong And down in the ground Is a place where you go If you've been a bad boy If you've been a bad boy Why can't we have eternal life And never die? Never die? In the place up above You grow feather wings And you fly round and round With a harp singing hymns And down in the ground You grow horns and a tail And you carry a fork And molder away Why can't we have eternal life And never die? Never die?

Looking for heaven, running through hell again Looks like I got myself in trouble with the boys again The prairie's on fire, house is in order Ah, it's so cold like an, like an icebox locked in my head And nowhere to be seen again Well I'm looking for heaven Running through hell again Looks like I got myself in trouble with the boys again Well, the head of the letter says I can't do this no more I can't play like this I gave you two You gave me no more, yeah, I know I can't keep going back, but The winds were blowing in Now I'm looking for heaven, running through hell again Looks like I got myself in trouble with the boys again Prairie's on fire, house is up for sale And the dog are the days And your car won't start again In my head A wind is blowing, it's all around The winds are blowing in The winds are blowing in The winds are blowing And I just get carried away So I bought myself a lottery ticket And I looked outside And the sun was setting In my head There's a wind, it's blowing, it's all around The winds are blowing in The winds are blowing and I just get carried away I need a dog, man I'm looking for Looking for Well, I'm looking for Looking for heaven
