Resurrection

(album: Better Times - 1992)

Six weeks and a day too long
The same old thing just keeps going on
Your L-O-V-E was double dealing me
Your X-T-C was only misery

Your spell of voodoo had a hold on me
Your poison kisses would ting aling aling
Black crows sing on the witness tree
Won't let you Hoodoo make no fool out of me

I'm gonna break away
Ain't you heard?
Resurrection is the word

So raise the wind on this holy day
Church bells are ringing, ooh...
Well, empty prayers will only testify
What kind of fool will keep this love alive

Now I'm moving in a new direction
For a brand new start
Well, all those tears can turn to dust
There ain't no loving without no trust

I'm gonna break away
Ain't you heard?
Resurrection is the word
Rise up
It's a holy day
Pray for the love that you betrayed

Well, you free wheeling
Flip flopping
Tail gaiting
Hip hugging

Your L-O-V-E was double dealing me

I'm gonna break away

Six weeks and a day too long
The same old thing just keeps going on
Well, all these tears can turn to dust
There ain't no loving without no trust

So raise the wind on this holy day
Church bells are ringing, ooh...
Black crows sing on the witness tree
Won't let you Hoodoo make no fool out of me

I'm gonna break away
Ain't you heard?
Resurrection is the word
Rise up
It's a holy day
Pray for the love that you betrayed

Well, you free wheeling
Flip flopping
Tail gaiting
Hip hugging

Your L-O-V-E was double dealing me

I'm gonna break away
Ain't you heard?
Resurrection is the word
Rise up
It's a holy day
Pray for the love that you betrayed
