Duration: P00H02M42S
Description: This is the second in a series of "first draft" releases where we record a song on the iPhone right after we write it down. The first was released on March 27, 2023 and was called "I'm a Jesus Stuntman Double." This one here was recorded not too long after that. We'll make more of these because it's a good exercise.

lyrics

I told you I’m religious man
but you’re too sad to understand
the faith you put your order in
 is far too proud to listen

no one is forgiven
she’s in the graveyard whisperin
no one’s here to miss them

Last night I had the strangest dream
that all the girls in New Orleans
weren’t always half as old as me
when I got out of prison
the dead didn’t ask permission
and I couldn’t see lives I’ve lived in
had no one there to miss them

Oh lordy me
the snakes got bored the war is on
the john from down the morgue is on tv
and Inshallah

Mardi Gras go get ‘em Pa
It’s nearly fall you know the way back home
tell the one you see back there to leave without a word you’re on your own

You told me I’ve got years to go
what time can’t heal the sun can show
who fears to lose won’t ever know
no one is forgiven
and love’s just superstition
and even if it isn’t
there’s no one here to miss it
