Deliverance Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You went to my head
All the things that you said
Straight to my head
Like a cannonball, I fled
The more that I heard
The more that I knew I'd been had
Should have got out the lead
I ran full speed ahead, full of dread
Went to my head

[Verse 2]
You went to my head
Message was danger, color was red
I dreamt I was dead
Sat straight up in my bed, my bed
Oh, where did I bury
My body? So dirty, my soul, so unfed
This went through my head
Straight through my head, yeah, yeah

[Chorus 1]
The toast was raised, the bullets sprayed, they laid me down
Down among the frowns below the ground somewhere
Somewhere

[Verse 3]
This went through my head
Down the garden path I was led
Got cooked in some oven, baked me like bread
Where was that masked body I buried and left it for dead?
The hand crept out, the water shouted, "Hallelujah"
Hallelujah, I need deliverance
Deliverance
This went through my head
Why did all this go through my head?
Straight through my head like a bullet of lead

[Chorus 2]
The bomb was dropped, the megaton exploded
The fire burned, consuming all that went before it
The information spread

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
The bombs they burst, the smoke, the heat, the blood was red
Exhuming every single thing I did and said
Lord, help my head, help my head

[Guitar Solo]
