A Different Life

«I thank God for my fine Christian
Mother that’s taken me to Jesus. If we had
More good Christian mothers that would
Speak the Word and pray more
Instead of drinking cocktails and smoking...»

I was taught to take the blame
For anything corrupt and broken
I cannot gulp like you big flask
And please, defender, lose the case
The dirty grim way strives a share
The second skin that's always there
Admire who betrays you most

Get out of here
This is a different life
Get out of here
This is a different life
Get out of here
This is a different life

Leave me on the dulcet drift
Keep it flowin'
I'm easy to please, I'm easy to please
Arrested on the same side
Preparing for the overdose

Get out of here
This is a different life
Get out of here
This is a different life
Get out of here
This is a different life

In the arctic ice
In the waiting room
In the opium den
I'm born again
And it doesn't feel different
It doesn't feel different
In the bed of my girl
I'm playing dead
And it feels so real

«...Praise Him tonight. Hallelujah
Oh God is so real tonight. If you’ve don’t got
The Holy Ghost tonight, man, you’re dead and don’t know it
So why don’t you praise Him? Why don’t you
Call upon His name? Why don’t you worship
The Lord tonight? Put up your hands and praise Him
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Oh Hallelujah!»
