Oh child, don’t you know?
Electric gold’s gonna save my soul
Oh child, don’t you know?
All God’s creatures die alone
Oh child…
Backwater merchants roll, selling swill for your soul
With a bonfire mouth
Like a coal burning stove
If I was swingin slow, at the end of a rope
Would you steady my load?
Would you uphold my love?
Gonna kill tonight, with the bluntest device
Passionless and cold
Subterfuge on ice
Sung all the wrong hymns, but I read my scriptures twice
Traded restful sleep
For every world weary vice
Oh child, don’t you know?
Electric gold’s gonna save my soul
Oh child, don’t you know?
All God’s creatures die alone
Oh child…
