The Bitter Suite IV and V: The Congregation and the Sermon in the Silt

The Dear Hunter

5

They come in crowds to hear him speak

And he will greet them in a smile that sticks like Vaseline

So do your best to keep your distanceIn this instance, you′re a stranger in the weeds

Some things are better left unseen

Commanding listeners to believe

Manipulations of narrations Anno Domini

Not with a whimper, but a bang

He'll take the stage and leave their jaws upon the floor

Begging for more

So Father, won′t you tend your flock and save us now?

Won't you save us now?

Come and save us

I hear you're looking for God

Well, I can show you the way, just as long as you can pay

But the price is going up

And like a prayer to the air, we deliver you to glory (pay up)

I swear you′ll get what you need

And we can lead you to salvation with the right denomination

It all lies in your hands

Or in your pocketbook, to be more demanding

Don′t you tread too close to The Line this time

Don't get lead too close to the light this time

You went far too close to The Line this time

The Line this time

Hey, hey kid, hey kid, get a God

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey kid get a God

So you committed a sin?

Well, we can rid that with a remedy, the bidding starts at seventy-

Sold to one and all

Now get your hands ready to make a withdrawal

You′ve got no other way to find what you want

If it's a saving that you′re craving and your confidence is fading

Be calm, the Doctor's in

I got the cure because I know where you′ve been

Don't you tread too close to The Line this time

Don't get lead too close to the light this time

You went far too close to The Line this time

The Line this time

If you wanna get up, reserve a room on high

Put your coins in my hat and don′t ask why

If you wanna get up, reserve a room on high

Put your coins in my hat and don′t ask why

If you wanna get up, reserve a room on high

Put your coins in my hat and don't ask why

Don′t you tread too close to The Line this time

Don't get lead too close to the light this time

You went far too close to The Line this time

The Line this time

The Line this time
