We used to go down to Aunt Peggie´s house Played in the dirt by the single wide trailer It up the church when the spirit fell Speaking in tongues of angels
Marty´s on the drink again We reach out towards him from the sanctuary Some folks sing or shout And the room gets loud until it all sounds scary
This coalescing of holiness & horror Addiction, loss, & blessing Painkillers & magic Methamphetamines & spiritual madness I watch with the eyes of a child as it happens Through the lens of these memories of white trash revelry Painkillers & magic Peggy has a soft voice Singing from the porch while I play with the boys Though the fabric of memory She stands in front of me Gentle and sad and rejoicing
Praise be the lord´s savage sorcery
This coalescing of holiness & horror Addiction, loss, & blessing Painkillers and magic Methamphetamines and spiritual madness I watch with the eyes of a child as it happens Through the lens of these memories all our white trash revelry Painkillers & magic
Hallelujah When I ached in the darkness alone on my knees Hallelujah I would plead for God´s mercy to wash over me Hallelujah I was a child and I heard nothing But I hear Peggie sing, “hallelujah” ceaselessly
