Gov't Mule - Slackjaw Jezebel lyrics

rate me

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
