Holy Ghost

Who are we sometimes I wonder
 Mercenaries or lovers
 On this side of the thunder
 It can be awful hard to know
 Sell our love for the paycheck or
 Spend the night on the freight deck
 For all the dues that we collect
 Our hearts can be overdrawn
 Dead in the water
 Like lamb to the slaughter
 If the wind doesn't sing her song
 And I'm speaking in tongues
 Cause I need a Holy Ghost
 The geeks they can smell when you're coming
 Even out in the cold
 They'll wait you out yeah
 They'll grind you down
 But they're gonna get what they're owed
 I know the red thread unravels
 I know you're blue and you're black
 But there's still time if you don't mind
 The way that the odds are stacked
 Dead in the water
 Lamb to the slaughter
 If the wind doesn't sing her song
 And I'm speaking in tongues
 Cause I need a Holy Ghost
