Sister Rosetta |
| It’s a rainy night in Brixton D. Wayne |
| Why are you taking me downtown? |
| I brought you down here for a reason, Larry |
| You’ve been a faithful little reverend |
| Due in the mountain of dessiminating the dope music to people all over the world |
| But I haven’t been wholly straightforward with you Larry |
| But tonight, I think you’re about to move a stage further in my twelve step |
| plan which you have fought so diligently |
| Yeah, brother |
| Let me look in the bag |
| Then unrolled your fingers |
| Black cat bone |
| Some rats leap out the bag |
| To join the cutthroat |
| Now lets take a little touch of this |
| A little touch of this |
| Gimmie that dixie bottle you’re holdin' there |
| Put some of this in there |
| Mix it up real good |
| Now you drink that down, Larry |
| Tell me how you feel |
| Oh, I feel goddamn weird D. Wayne |
| Do you feel the spirit? |
| I feel the spirit comin' to me |
| Are you changin' Larry? |
| I can change |
| Are you changin' from what you once were? |
| I can change, man I can change |
| You have the power to do as the Lord does |
| And remember Larry God has power |
| God has power |
| And if one does as God does enough times |
| You will become as God is |
| Feel the spirit movin' through you, Larry |
| As we go back |
| Back to the beat of the heart |
| Back to me and you, Larry |
| Now sing me a sad, sweet spiritual |
| In that mornin' |
| I wanna be walkin' yeah |
| I wanna be walkin' on |
| I wanna be |
| Walking on to glory, yeah |
| On line of horizons I can see |
| City lights are shining, yeah |
| Shining like diamonds |
| Lord I believe I’m coming home |
| Guitar |
| You gotta help me now |
| You gotta help me now |
| You see I looked for the light in the words of Saint Matthew |
| Took the heed of the call to come and congregate |
| I got me a ticket for that gospel train |
| But Lord it got to the station just a little too late |
| But into the night I went looking for angels |
| Only to find that I was walking alone |
| Searchin' the line for some sign of salvation, Lord |
| But I found none |
| Mississippi guitar |
| You’ve gotta help me now |
| Some brother |
| Some sister |
| Somebody |
| You’ve gotta help me now |
| I buried my bible at the back of the bar room |
| I bought me a bottle |
| Jukebox played Jerry Lee |
| I stumbled and staggered in the heat of the moonshine |
| A whole lot of shakin' goin' on in me |
| Up in the skies thunder is rollin' |
| River is running to bed down below |
| I’m gonna raise up my hands |
| Sing all the sweets of the cale |
| It’s comin', comin' on strong, now |
| So help me, now |
| You gotta help me now |
| You gotta help me now |
| You gonna help me now? |
| Hear that D. Wayne? |
| I can feel brother |
| I got that gospel swing |
| I got that golden gate quartet on my turntable |
| Gospel music gonna let me swing |
| I’m gonna get down on here to Jackson |
| Gonna get down on my knees |
| I’m gonna get down to five miles in Alabama |
| 'cause tonight gospel music gonna set me free |
| Gospel music |
| Gonna set me free |
| Sweet pretty acid house gospel music |
| It’s gonna set me free |
| 'till the morning watch me now, i’m gonna be walkin'… |
