Lyrics The Bitter Suite IV and V - The Congregation the Sermon in the Silt - The Dear Hunter

They come in crowds to hear him speak
And he will greet them with a smile that sticks like vaseline
So do you best to keep your distance
In this instance
You're a stranger in the wheels
Some things are better left unseen

Commanding listeners to believe
Manipulations of narrations anno domini
Not with a whimper but a bang
He'll take the stage and leave their jaws upon the floor
Begging for more

So father won't you tend your flock
And save us now
Won't you save us now
Come and save us

I hear you're looking for God
Well, I can show you the way
Just as long as you can pay
But the price is going up
And like a prayer to the air [?]
Pay up

I swear you'll get what you need
And we can lead you to salvation
With the right denomination
It all lies in your hands
Or in your pocketbook to be more demanding

Don't you tread to close to the line this time
Don't get lead to close to the light this time
You went far too close to the line this time
Line this time

(Hey, Hey, kid, hey, kid, get a god)
(Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey, kid, get a god)

So you've committed a sin
Well, we can rid that with a remedy
The bidding starts at seventy souls
For one and all
Now get your hands ready to make a withdrawal

You've got no other way to find what you want
If it's a saving that you're craving
And your confidence is fading
Be calm!
The Doctor's in
I got the cure because I know where you been

Don't you tread to close to the line this time
Don't get lead to close to the light this time
You went far too close to the line this time
Line this time

If you want to get up
Reserve a room on high
Put your coins in my hat
And don't ask why

If you want to get up
Reserve a room on high
Put your coins in my hat
And don't ask why
If you want to get up
Reserve a room on high
Put your coins in my hat
And don't ask why
Don't you tread to close to the line this time
Don't get lead to close to the light this time
You went far too close to the line this time
Line this time
