Salvation

Say Judas came up to D.C.

He'd been down in Georgia for a while

He drove a 944 ,

He bought with the soul

Of a blonde-headed kid

With a left-handed guitar



Now he's lookin' for me

Citizen C-O-P-E

Sign the dotted line please

For the fake fifties

Now Judas answer me

Since I was the age to speak

Haven't you been listening?

Salvation



[chorus:]

Salvation (rpt 4x)



Well he came to town

Found the woman that I love

And he fucked her down

She told him where I live

Off of 9th in the alleyway

Where they say

They got the coke and the dope

Until you end up broken

"You should have let... smack get you" he said

"But now you gotta deal with me instead

I'm downstairs on the Motorola

You know I've got 3 golden bullets

And I'm shootin for your soul"

Salvation



(chorus)



Well I came down with my Martin blazin'

My voice.. It was cuttin him up

Now he's aimin

His first shot grazed my eye

I lost half of my sight

And my firstborn's life

The second shot knocked off my guitar moon

And it made my guitar kinda play out of tune

But I just kept strummin

Like I'd nothing to lose

He turned the third on himself

'Cause the bastard knew

Salvation I'm calling

Salvation



(chorus)

salvation, I'm callin

salvation, I'm callin

salvation, I'm callin

salvation....... oh yeah



Put the gun down (repeat)
