Michelle Shocked Follow

Across the street they are raising wolves
And it don't take much to make 'em cry
A fire truck, a car alarm
The Police drive by with the sirens on
And suddenly they're runnin' with the pack
And remembering the call of the wild
They cry, woooo, woooo
Pasteur Leon is the neighbor to my right
Twice on Sundays and every weeknight
He cranks up the P.A.
His wife, she's the choir
And then they start preaching like a house on fire
And his wife she gets happy and begins to shout
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
And they all fall out
They say Hallelujah!...
Baby put on your old damned coat
And fire up that GTO
Take me on a little ride down Pico
Drivin' along now and you notice just how many churches
Four Square Baptist
Catholic Cathedrals and
Buddhist Temples and
Synagogues and Mosques and
Keeve Dominion and ??? and Pentecost
And Eglasius de Cristo
And Eglasius de tijo
And the sweet, swear to God, aroma of Jesus
Down by the hardware store
Men are pitchin' pennies
Or standing by the paint store dressed in white
Or waiting by the trucks to hire for hauling
Or collecting cans in shopping carts
Or carrying guitars or accordions
Into cantinas and restaurants
Or selling on-ramp oranges
Or off-ramp roses
Or ringing bells for ???Spanish???
Or standing by a pay telephone
With a baby carriage and a beeper on
With last nights sermon still ringing in my ears
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Don't despair...
Baby put on your old damned coat
Fire up that GTO
Take me on a little ride down Pico
Baby put on your old damned coat
Fire up that GTO
Take me on a little ride down Pico
Baby put on your old damned coat
Fire up that GTO
Take me on a little ride down Pico
