Sweet Chariot

Ode to joy, my lover boy's speaking in tongues
 And the sky's bleeding gray
 Now I pull my bag o' prayers out
 I hope to find one to save the day
 And he judged my love, my lust
 My taste with the straightest face
 As I crumple up inside
 A papier-mache, a shell with no name
 Sweet chariot
 Come, come, take me away from my fear
 Sweet chariot
 Come, I have to get out of here
 And he took me further than I wanted to go
 Underneath his shoe
 And it leaves me hungry for a touch I can't feel
 A touch he won't do
 And I thought the circle, it had an end
 I'm old enough to know
 My denial is how we began and how we will end
 And now that I know
 Sweet chariot
 Come, come, take me away from my fear
 Sweet chariot
 Come, I have to get out of here
 Oh, the blood that's in my veins
 So cold and frozen from the stings
 Oh, he comes and goes in waves
 Am I really here?
 Sweet chariot
 Come, come, take me away from my fear
 Sweet chariot
 Can we leave him a trail of my tears?
 Sweet chariot
 It's been, it's been the longest of years
 Sweet chariot
 Come, I have to get out of here
