lyrics

Shaky Jesus
She was the hell
The only hell her mama ever raised
In the heat of the September haze
In the cold suburban sprawl

She kissed my eyes
She kissed my eyes awake
She taught me focus and taught me how to praise
Like some holy Adderall
I come when she calls

We were so high
Throwing money in the offering plate
For a second we set the shaking straight
By that fountain at the mall
I come when she calls

If Jesus loves me now
Can he save my little sermon somehow
Because I found a little promised land
And I’m reaching out to take her hand and drown
If Jesus loves me now

She used to hang
She used to hang him on a chain around her throat
Like a promissory note
Like a bible in a drawer

She would stay closed
So heaven help me to turn her into clay
Make us stay on our knees Jesus help us pray
Make her come when I call
She always came when you called

If Jesus loves me now
Can he save my little sermon somehow
Because I found a little promised land
And I’m reaching out to take her hand and drown
If Jesus loves me now

Holy Holy Holy
I come when she calls
She always came when you called
