The Bitter Suite IV and V: The Congregation and the Sermon in the Silt
They come in crowds to hear him speak
And he will greet them in a smile that sticks like Vaseline
So do your best to keep your distance
In this instance, you're a stranger in the weeds
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, we deliver you to glory (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 too close to The Line this time
Don't get lead too close to the light this time
You went far too close to The Line this time
The Line this time
Hey, hey kid, hey kid, get a God
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey kid get a God
So you committed a sin?
Well, we can rid that with a remedy, the bidding starts at seventy-
Sold to 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've been
Don't you tread too close to The Line this time
Don't get lead too close to the light this time
You went far too close to The Line this time
The Line this time
If you wanna get up, reserve a room on high
Put your coins in my hat and don't ask why
If you wanna get up, reserve a room on high
Put your coins in my hat and don't ask why
If you wanna get up, reserve a room on high
Put your coins in my hat and don't ask why
Don't you tread too close to The Line this time
Don't get lead too close to the light this time
You went far too close to The Line this time
The Line this time
The Line this time
And he will greet them in a smile that sticks like Vaseline
So do your best to keep your distance
In this instance, you're a stranger in the weeds
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

Won't you save us now?
Come and save us

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