Kerri Powers - Magdelene lyrics

rate me

At seven every morning, she drops two quarters in

Tiny tv preacher talks to her again

Seven-thirty greyhound, she meets it at the gate

As the fares step off the bus, she kneels and prays

*Magdelene, Magdelene

Hear the angels calling

Magdelene

Afternoon revival at the Spin and Dry

Candy bar and coffee, flourescent lights

She sees the devil tumbling through the double loader doors

And always finds some quarters on the floor

*Chorus

The Virgin Mary meets her downtown

They've got some matters to discuss

So little time for preparation

Cause Jesus comes tomorrow on the bus

Nine pm is curfew at All Souls Shelter

The sisters wash her face, brush her hair

A light shines through the window, as they tuck her into bed

The shadow draws a cross above her head

*Chorus/hear the angels praying for Magdelene
