Bouse - Jesus Can't Do It This Time Lyrics

Have you ever seen your last dollar bill
Can you understand quite how you'd feel
To be down and out with prophecies waning
To be covered in dues that keep on raining
To cry a blue moon so pillows are staining

You don't know it but you need saving
Jesus can't do it this time
No jesus can't do it this time

When was the last time you felt overwhelmed
How long has it been since you've been in the realm
Of mysteries clogging all of your senses
Of desperation burning all of your fences
Of destinations without good consequences

You don't know it but you need saving
Jesus can't do it this time
No jesus can't do it this time

How have you been alone on the highway
How do you like not doing it my way
Without a companion for any protection
Without a comrade to pay any attention
Without a cloud to point any direction

You don't know it but you need saving
Jesus can't do it this time
No jesus can't do it this time

Where are your wits which you once praised
Where are those gifts that you once gave
Are they sinking in quicksand or lost in the ocean
Are they in silent deserts or crowds of commotion
Are they undiscovered or causing emotion

You don't know it but you need saving
Jesus can't do it this time
No jesus can't do it this time

When will your fate clear out a road
When will the plains enlighten your soul
In hell's barren wasteland across a million miles
In the ruins of the tower 'neath ashes and tiles
In the streets of Mecca on past the turnstiles

You don't know it but you need saving
Jesus can't do it this time
No jesus can't do it this time

Where is the plan that was perfectly made
How can you distinguish when everything fades
When you cease to remember how to begin
When a reincarnation has you pinned
When you're afloat on your back drenched in gin
When you don't even care if you lose or you win
When you howl at the gods "is this happening again?"

You don't know it but you need saving
Jesus can't do it this time
No jesus can't do it this time

Who is your only and where does she sleep
Who holds the promises you're fighting to keep
To stay alive, to just be alive in a world steeped in pain
To float and sail across and ocean of shame
To recall how to palpitate and use your brain
To invite all the maniacs going insane
To escape the politicians signing your name
To stay awake and maybe just stay in your lane
To rejoice in heroes who did not die in vain
To destroy all the places to dump all the blame
To bind you back to the dream from whence you came

You don't know it but you need saving
Jesus can't do it this time
No jesus can't do it this time
