Juliette & The Licks - Purgatory Blues lyrics

I thought I needed redemption but I let that thought go

I guess I'll cut my losses and turn my tricks at the magic show

You spin your wheels through time and get tired of the grind

I want to find a good man but instead I settle for what I find

Get it in throw in your cheap shots, cheap shot baby

Isn't that all life really is, a bunch of have nots

And the gods will laugh when you think you've found your lot

And take it all away

Redemption, redemption

There are no real innocents no matter whose side your on

Its a littered path to paradise honey that will always steer you wrong

Put your hands where I can see 'em

Put your hands next to mine

I wanted something to believe in before I got sold on the lie

Get it in throw in your cheap shots, cheap shot baby

Isn't that all life really is, a bunch of have nots

And the gods will laugh when you think you've found your lot

And take it all away

Redemption, oh purgatory, oh redemption, oh purgatory

Oh, isn't that all life really is a bunch of cheap shots

And you give it what you've got

You give it what you've got

And the gods will laugh when you think you've found your lot

And take it all away

They'll take it all away you fool

Oh they take it, take it all away
