Atonement Lyrics by Lucinda Williams

Atonement Lyrics

    Come on, Come on, Come on
    Kill the rats in the gutter
    Sings the voice in the choir
    Bring your Father and your Mother
    Sing it higher and higher
    Shake the clammy hand
    Repeat the 23rd psalm
    Make you understand
    Where it was you went wrong

    Voices from tapes
    Shouting with twisted tongues
    Emotional rape
    Hell fire scorched lungs

    Come on, Come on, Come on
    Pay close attention to this
    Let me give you something good to eat
    Bite down hard 'til it sticks between your teeth
    Glory, glory we've killed the beast
    Blinded by glittery diamonds
    Resting on crooked fingers
    Shaded eyes they are the ones
    Who'll lead you to your deliverance

    From the figure of doom
    Force you to understand
    Lock you in a room
    With a holy roller and a one man band
