Tongues Lyrics

I'm sleeping on the couch hear you call my name

When I ask you what you want you don't hear me say

Is it the way I talk? Is it the way I talk?

I walk to the kitchen, pour a cup of tea

I see you playing cards with the King of Kings

But ya'll don't look at me

I say to play the Queen

Out in the garden I can see your brother

I say come inside, it's past time for supper

It's getting cold, it's sitting on the stove

And there it is again I hear you call my name

But every time I answer you got nothing to say

I sit down to play

I draw a pair of eights

I dress myself for church in my finest things

Makeup and hair but not my wedding ring

I leave it in drawer, don't need it anymore

I always drive fast I can't wait to die

Lord I'm a coming, see you in the sky

I'm ready to fly, don't need to say goodbye

I'm ready to fly

Don't need to say goodbye

I'm ready to fly

Don't need to say goodbye

I feel it coming like the shadow of a thief

When Brother Danny finally lays his hand on me

And I start to talk the way they all talk

Everybody shouts and everybody cries

Everybody lives and everybody dies

No matter what we say

Not matter how we pray
