Lucinda Williams - Atonement lyrics
[Lucinda Williams - Atonement lyrics]
Come on, come on kill the rats in the gutter
Come on, come on
Sings the voice in the choir
Come on, come on
Bring your Father and your Mother
Come on, come on sing it higher and higher
Shake the clammy hand repeat the 23rd psalm
Make you understand
Where it was you went wrong
Voices from tapes
Shouting with twisted tongues emotional rape
Hellfire scorched lungs come on, come on
Pay close attention to this come on, come on
Let me give you something good to eat
Come on, come on bite down hard 'til it
Sticks between your teeth come on, come on
Glory, glory, we've killed the beast
Blinded by glittery diamonds
Resting on crooked fingers
Shaded eyes, they are the ones
Who'll lead you to your deliverance
From the figure of doom
Force you to understand lock you in a room
With a holy roller and a one man band
Come on kill the rats in the gutter
Come on sings the voice in the choir
Come on bring your Father and your Mother
Come on sing it higher and higher
Shake the clammy hand repeat the 23rd psalm
Make you understand
Where it was you went wrong
Voices from tapes
Shouting with twisted tongues emotional rape
Hellfire scorched lungs
Blinded by glittery diamonds
Resting on crooked fingers
Shaded eyes, they are the ones
Who'll lead you to your deliverance
From the figure of doom
Force you to understand lock you in a room
With a holy roller and a one man band
Come on kill the rats in the gutter
Come on, come on
Sings the voice in the choir
Come on, come on, come on
Bring your Father and your Mother
Come on, come on, come on
Sing it higher and higher
Come on, come on, come on
Pay close attention to this come on, come on
Let me give you something good to eat
Come on, come on bite down hard 'til it
Sticks between your teeth come on, come on
Glory, glory, we've killed the beast
Come on, come on
Sings the voice in the choir
Come on, come on
Bring your Father and your Mother
Come on, come on sing it higher and higher
Shake the clammy hand repeat the 23rd psalm
Make you understand
Where it was you went wrong
Voices from tapes
Shouting with twisted tongues emotional rape
Hellfire scorched lungs come on, come on
Pay close attention to this come on, come on
Let me give you something good to eat
Come on, come on bite down hard 'til it
Sticks between your teeth come on, come on
Glory, glory, we've killed the beast
Blinded by glittery diamonds
Resting on crooked fingers
Shaded eyes, they are the ones
Who'll lead you to your deliverance
From the figure of doom
Force you to understand lock you in a room
With a holy roller and a one man band
Come on kill the rats in the gutter
Come on sings the voice in the choir
Come on bring your Father and your Mother
Come on sing it higher and higher
Shake the clammy hand repeat the 23rd psalm
Make you understand
Where it was you went wrong
Voices from tapes
Shouting with twisted tongues emotional rape
Hellfire scorched lungs
Blinded by glittery diamonds
Resting on crooked fingers
Shaded eyes, they are the ones
Who'll lead you to your deliverance
From the figure of doom
Force you to understand lock you in a room
With a holy roller and a one man band
Come on kill the rats in the gutter
Come on, come on
Sings the voice in the choir
Come on, come on, come on

Come on, come on, come on
Pay close attention to this come on, come on
Let me give you something good to eat
Come on, come on bite down hard 'til it
Sticks between your teeth come on, come on
Glory, glory, we've killed the beast
