ben miller band - mississippi cure lyrics

Loading...

well i was thinking maybe
i oughta go back to mississippi baby
i was feeling sorrowful
reckon i could borrow around 500 dollars for gas
get me down there

bring something crazy back
mold of your hand
a voodoo doll
weapons from the clan
it ain’t against the law
not the law of man

i heard the verses of the katydids
cicadas chimed in with horrible choruses
i stagger down the sideroad
where the women break legs of furniture to fit it into the trash
men of smoke and sweat
silent as i pass
i sense that there’s a threat
spraypainted on a wall
is the mayor [?]
thеre’s a swastika

preacher told mе that he’d pray for me
preacher told me that he’d pray for me
preacher will you sit and wait with me
preacher will you sit down and wait
i took a drink out of the water
that flowed from the fountain in the garden of fire
i was feeling pretty squirmy lately
i was hoping that the water might cure me or make me pure

it twisted all my words
did nothing for the thirst
but it made me halfway brave
when that was all gone
and i was left to face the rising of the sun
i was sorry that i came

preacher told me that he’d pray for me
preacher told me that he’d pray for me
preacher will you sit and wait with me
preacher will you sit down and wait

well i’m waiting on your miracle
sometimes when you wait too long
waiting on a miracle
sometimes you wait too long
waiting on your miracle
the cure has come and gone

so where’s all this progress got us
but processed, and boxed up in a dystopian metropolises
mississippi’s poisoned
are souls are lost in jordan, and the ganges is in the ocean too
so what are we to do
when the hour gets so late
and the messenger comes through
and says that’s there’s a bomb
and the bomb is on the way
and the wait it isn’t long
today will be the day

preacher told me that he’d pray for me
preacher told me that he’d pray for me
preacher will you sit and wait with me
preacher will you sit down and wait

well i’m waiting on your miracle
sometimes when you wait too long
waiting on a miracle
sometimes you wait too long
waiting on your miracle
the cure has come and gone
the cure has come and gone
