mick harvey - everything is fixed lyrics

i saw jesus in my cell, overnight where he was held
on some trumped up charge we all knew was fixed
i said, “why not take a gun
take a knife and make a run?”
he said, “they’ve found new ways to make these charges stick”
he said, “there’s no use now, cos everything is fixed”
i said, “why not walk out free? why not make a call to me?
just to stay in touch and let me know you’re well?”
well, he took me by the hand and said, “son, you don’t
understand
there’s no clause left in this deal that i can fix
i can’t make one wrong move now, everything is fixed”
he said, “take a deep breath, take another
make a sound while you still can
your warm breath will soon be worth its weight in gold
you can leave, but i’m still trapped
and i’ll bet you’ve many breaths left
while i’ve still some life in this cell but my breath is cold
i’ve still some life in this cell but my breath is cold”
“so keep on moving now, keep on moving now
so keep on moving now, keep on moving now
keep on working for me ’til your bones dry”
my mother took me by the hand
i asked her, “mother, hold me still”
i asked her, “after this will everything be well?”
well, she had never looked me in the eye
but when she did it was with some surprise
she said, “don’t you see that everything fixed is k!lled?”
she said, “don’t you see now that everything fixed is k!lled?
whichever way now, darling, everything fixed is k!lled”
