Atonement

Lucinda Williams · Live @ The Fillmore [2005]

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



Hell fire 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 till 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, 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



Hell fire 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, 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 till it sticks between your teeth



Come on, come on



Glory, glory we've killed the beast
