DLord, today there is no salvation, Gthe band packed up and gone
ALeft me standing with my penny in my Dhand
There's a big crowd at the station where the Gblind man sings his songs
ABut he can see what they can't, underDstand.
Chorus:
It's the Gthirty-third of August and I'm finally touching Ddown
GEight days from EmSunday finds me ASaturday Dbound
Once I stumbled through the darkness, tumbled to my knees
A thousand voices screaming in my brain
Woke up in a squad car busted down for vagrancy
Outside my cell as sure as hell it looked like rain
But now I've put my dangerous feelings under lock and chain
Yes, I killed my violent nature with a smile
Though the demons danced and sung their songs within my fevered brain
Not all my God-like thoughts Lord were defiled
