Corroding Frame - Crooked Gate Hallelujah

[Intro] Mm Mm-hmm [Verse 1] I woke up sweating on a cold tile floor Faded stains from a better life before The preacher said I'm lost but I found my way Down the gravel road where the chickens pray [Verse 2] Every window facing west Every shadow doing their best Talking to the wall like it got a name That wall talks back all the same [Pre-Chorus] I'm a long way from amen Long way from the promised land [Chorus] Walk me down the river muddy Walk me down slow Baptize my boots in the holy water low Carry me through the crooked gate Where the hallelujah congregate [Verse 3] My uncle played a horn made of rust and bones Blew it till the rafters shook and the neighbors moaned Said the rhythm is a prayer and the prayer is a beat And everything that moves got dancing feet [Verse 4] The choir in the basement singing upside down The tambourine is broken but it still makes sound I put my ear to the speaker and heard the sky Singing something patient back and I don't know why [Pre-Chorus] I'm a long way from amen Long way from the promised land [Chorus] Walk me down the river muddy Walk me down slow Baptize my boots in the holy water low Carry me through the crooked gate Where the hallelujah congregate [Bridge] Amen stays on the top shelf Amen stays on the top shelf Amen stays on the top shelf And I can't reach it Can't reach it Can't reach it [Chorus] Walk me down the river muddy Walk me down slow Baptize my boots in the holy water low Carry me through the crooked gate Where the hallelujah congregate
