lyrics

From this make-shift motel
I used to call home
a level of Hell
full of All alone
I broadcast a mayday
to the Heavens with a phonograph

A dirty needle in a crooked arm
spin the Forty Five
Rhythm, a necromancers charm
to bring himself back to life

Dying slow from living fast
It's just me and Jesus
and Johnny Cash

the phone it won't ring
no matter how you stare
I call out to angels
who are not there
I search for a cause that I could
call myself a Martyr

the J.C.'s they sing their songs
and tell each other stories
about the women they deny knowing
and the Unwanted Glory
you're walkin a line unless you're
walking on the water

Dying slow from living fast
It's just me and Jesus
and Johnny Cash

Me and the Boys
we stay up all night
drinkin whiskey and water, and wine
and the white light
it wont make it's way out of that
busted, old television

the picture is fuzzy
but all Three of us know
The Good Book, a Drink and
the Radio
will take away the madness
even if it don't take you
where you're wishing

From this make-shift motel
I used to call home
a level of Hell
full of All alone
I broadcast a mayday
to the Heavens with a phonograph

A dirty needle in a crooked arm
spin the Forty Five
Rhythm, a necromancers charm
to bring himself back to life

Dying slow from living too fast
It's just me and Jesus
and Johnny Cash
