Govt Mule - Slackjaw Jezebel lyrics

Babies were crying when you got here

I believe they're crying still

The world as we know it keeps right on turning

I guess it always will

Still, something's changed - I hate to admit it

I ain't been the same since you came around

My mind is swollen from the weariness

Wish you'd never flagged me down

Twisted angel, cast out of some strange heaven

Sent down here to pull me out of my shell

You show up on my doorstep - honey dripping from your mouth

Like some slackjaw Jezebel

Flesh and bones is all I'm made of

I couldn't have stopped you if I tried

The spell you wer casting - way too heavy

Now I can't be satisfied

But you think you're going to save me - you better think again

I've had saviors galore

And although you are a vision - an angel wrapped in sin

I've seen it all before

Twisted angel, cast out of some strange heaven

Sent down here, landed on my window sill

Now you're walking through my back door - honey dripping from your mouth

Like some slackjaw Jezebel

You've got your bag of dust and your divining rod

I wonder how I got myself here

Wheel's spinning faster and I know I have to jump off

Guess I'm weighing the fire against the fear

You spoon-fed my ego, made me feel so young

Kissed me 'til my lips were sore

But I know you're just a Jezebel with a poisonous tongue

I've been down this road before

I'ts full of twisted angels, cast out of some strange heaven

Sent down here to put me through Hell

You show up on my doorstep - honey dripping from your mouth

Like some slackjaw Jezebel

Oh like some slackjaw Jezebel
