Let The Records Play

When the kingdom comes
He puts his records on
And with his blistered thumb hits play
And with the volume up he goes and fills his cup
And lets the drummer's drum take away the pain

Breaking, forsaken
What's that you're taking?
Aw, needing the feeling
He lets the records play

Should the future dim
A cigarette lights hymn
Vaporized a green light grin
And when the shot glass talks
He knows to listen up
Until he's nice and numb again

Shakened, awakened
Not one for faking
Kneeling, his healing
He lets the records play
There's wisdom in his ways

I been down and I fell so hard and far from grace
I been hurt and I still recall the flaws on her face
I been off, but I'm on, up above my feet, my feet again

Shaken, forsaken
What's that your taking?
Aw, needing the feeling
He lets the records play
Shakened, awakened
Not one for faking
Kneeling, his healing
He lets the records play
There's wisdom in his ways
