lyrics

F YOU WANT THAT COAT

Remove your sandals before you enter.
This is holy ground. He walked here.
More compelling than the shroud. Who’ll start the bidding?
If it’s the last thing I ever do, I’ll wear it around me.

Roll the bones - Hold your breath.
Ante up, boys...if you want that coat.

It’s been my one desire for too many years.
I want to have and to hold, to cage and to covet.
But how can my soul keep the peace with you?
My body-my spirit know that truer words were never spoken.

Roll the bones-Hold your breath.
Ante up, boys...if you want that coat.

Breathe in the smoke from a church bell,
and you will see the vicious eyes.
With a golden axe cut the locust wood,
and you will see the vicious eyes.

Roll the bones-Hold your breath.
Ante up, boys...if you want that coat.
Ante up, boys...if you want that coat.
