No Resurrection

Only prayer that I know
Curse the damned highway patrol
When the wind is all you have to sow
You reap the whirlwind
Knuckles white headed south
Can’t avoid the slaughter house
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth
When your light is growing dim

Bury my afflictions
With my unrighteous years
I don’t want no resurrection
To raise any of my tears
Send no angel to me
At the eleventh hour
Just swing a little lower for me
Chariot of fire

What’s a liar gonna do
Finally try to tell the truth
Like foil inside my ragged tooth
Like a wasp inside my mouth

Bury my afflictions
With my unrighteous years
I don’t want no resurrection
To raise any of my tears
Send no angel to me
At the eleventh hour
Just swing a little lower for me
Chariot of fire

Too late to be circumspect
Too deep on the razor’s edge
I am sober as a judge
And the verdict’s coming down

Bury my afflictions
With my unrighteous years
I don’t want no resurrection
To raise any of my tears
Send no angel to me
At the eleventh hour
Just swing a little lower for me
Chariot of fire
