The devil put a sign out on the edge of town "Live it up now before they lay you down!" They were standin' in line when I started to leave The men and the women and a coupla thieves Now the moon ain't shinin' and the stars just hide I can't miss that train when it blows through here tonite The hills are howlin' and the river rised And the devil don't sleep tonite Move on up a little higher Save my soul from the burnin' fire The Good book is my temple, Holy Spirit's my sword And I won't rest until I see the Lord The fox is in the hen house, he's handin' out keys He's a cool politician set your mind at ease gonna leaved out the front door in the broad daylight And you best believe he's eatin' chicken tonite Mother Teresa's outside beggin' for a dime She says she needs it to fix her busted spine She says the burden is heavy but it suits me fine Now gimme what you got and I tell you the time She sang: Move on up a little higher Save my soul from the burnin' fires The good Book is my temple, Holy Spirit's my sword And I won't rest until I see my Lord Look at the valley, it's strangely quiet It's a cool misconception, I won't tell you no lies If you look real hard and listen you will find People screamin' out their window for redemption tonite
