The Dregs Lyrics

Jesus! {Where Did You Go?}

Player Requires Javascript

I have looked all of my life for signs

From brimstone to turpentine I’ve tried

To get myself clean

But I am dismayed at what my effort has wrought

I turned my head into one big knot

I turned my soul into spleen

Jesus! Where did you go?

I wanted to buy something at the end of your medicine show

I have a limp. I have a heartache

There’s been a mistake

I thought you said you were not gonna leave me alone

Each cold night and every morning after

I tune my ear toward the laughter. I am trying

To keep the darkness at bay

I am not immune. I barricaded my soft spot

If the hot seat should get too hot

I think I’ll probably say

Jesus! Where did you go?

I wanted to buy something at the end of your medicine show

What will it take? Just to be taken?

Just to be shaken up by your holy ghost contaminant glow?

I traveled to the river

I set fire to the woods

I once felt my heart strings quiver

I prayed to be good

Jesus! Where did you go?

I wanted to buy something at the end of your medicine show

I am a tart. I am a drinker

I’m such a negative thinker

Come on----can’t you swing low?

Jesus! Where did you go?

I wanted to buy some junk at the end of your medicine show

I need a fix. I need a lucky star

I need a getaway car

I thought you said you were not gonna leave me alone
