lyrics

They call him deacon but
I don't know what he's got
Besides nicotine stains
On his fingers
But he sure laughs a lot

You're free to go
Cause they all been told
We ain't nothing but last years
Snow

It's already over
That's what the Deacon said
I heard him telling it to
The sanctimonious kid

Chorus

You came straight
Out of nowhere
Said tell me something
You'd never tell
Another living soul

Chorus
