Set the Killing Free

Lyrics for Set the Killing Free

We are tirelessly talking And rushing and walking And digging the graves of our sins Oh, we must dig so deep That there's something for keeps But there that's where my story begins I've been drumming my fingers And bumming with singers Who'd sung with a watch at a wake And they blamed rock 'n' roll For the sleep in their soul And they swore they had nothing to shake Oh, Jesus in heaven What's become of me? Oh, shake it and break it Set the killing free When the money gets short I am holding the fort Like I'm smiling with smoke in my eyes So swim over the road To my humble abode With your lips like a sucking surprise If it's a hassle to do Get a ticket for two And we'll reach for tomorrow tonight When we hit font en blue Then our ticket for two Is a pass to the place of the light Oh, Jesus in heaven What's become of me? Oh, shake it and break it Set the killing free Oh, Jesus in heaven What's become of me? Oh, shake it and break it Set the killing free Hey, I need the address Of the house of caress 'Cos my side of the bargain is bust It won't come on a plate Of [?] silver from fate So I'll chase it with wonder and lust Since I signed for no rest I'll submit to the test Of a body marked suffering slim And I've torn it apart From my head to my heart And I'm left with a whore and a hymn Oh, Jesus in heaven What's become of me? Oh, shake it and break it Set the killing free
