Don't Interrupt The Sorrow (Live) Lyrics

 

Don't interrupt the sorrow

 

Darn right

 

In flames our prophet witches

Be polite

 

A room full of glasses

He says your notches liberation doll

And he chains me with that serpent

 

To that Ethiopian wall

 

Anima rising

 

Queen of queens

 

Wash my guilt of Eden

 

Wash and balance me

 

Anima rising

 

Uprising in me tonight

 

She's a vengeful little goddess

With an ancient crown to fight

 

Truth goes up in vapors

 

The steeples lean

 

Winds of change patriarchs

 

Snug in your Bible belt dreams

 

God goes up the chimney

 

Like childhood Santa Claus

The good slaves love the good book

 

A rebel loves a cause

 

I'm leaving on the 1 15

 

You're darn right

 

Since I was seventeen

I've had no one over me

 

He says anima rising

 

So what

 

Petrified wood process

 

Tall timber down to rock

 

Don't interrupt the sorrow

 

Darn right

He says we walked on the moon

You be polite

 

Don't let up the sorrow

Death and birth and death and birth and death and birth

He says bring that bottle kindly

And I'll pad your purse

 

I've got a head full of quandary

And a mighty mighty mighty thirst

 

Seventeen glasses

 

Rhine wine

 

Milk of the Madonna

 

Clandestine

 

He don't let up the sorrow

 

He lies and he cheats

It takes a heart like Mary's these days

 

When your man gets weak
