Unless God Appears First Songtext
von The Elms

Yeah, I was born beside the Erie in the summertime
Lived inside the rust buckle till the age of nine
Broke the rules of the preacher and his blessed little wife
I turned the left side of truth into the center of life
And pulled the gray and the gold out of the black and the white
I got a heart that′s full of equal parts of fear and faith
And they say, unless God appears first I will die this way

I sing sad songs, I get high some
I got nothing to prove, baby, win and I lose, I'm the same
And I say, unless God appears first I will die this way


Well, I remember kissing Jenny on a Friday night
Told her she was the one, then she let me inside
I stole the trust of a woman who was only ever kind
I called her after a year in a moment of need
She didn′t mention that night or ask of penance of me
I was convicted and forgiven in an instant on that day
And I say, unless God appears first I got debts to pay

Oh, I sing sad songs, I get high some
I got nothing to prove, baby, win and I lose, I'm the same
And I say, unless God appears first I will die this way

If heaven comes or I hear it calling
From the mansions behind pearly gates
I'll go at night or on horses of fire
Through whirlwind and wire with a grin on my face
Unless God appears first I will fly away

Oh, I sing sad songs, I get high some
I got nothing to prove, baby, win and I lose, I′m the same
And I say, I sing sad songs, I get high some
I got nothing to prove, baby, win and I lose, I′m the same
And I say, unless God appears first I will die this way

Yeah, I will die this way
Hey, oh
