Hallelujah Hustler

It's a long long way, I’ll hold you by the hand
Oh now don't you have a quarter, go and give it to the candyman
I ain't no doctor, I ain’t no thief
Just a temporary suspender of disbelief

Don't we only have a moment til we're up and gone
Let me maybe make a pallet, to lay your worries down upon

Penny for your sweet salvation, dollar your mercy mind
Twenty for the whole damn holy rollin ball of karma if ya buy tonight
Everybody looking for some peace of mind sometimes
I'll sell it to you, just a hallelujah hustler, hot glory tonight

I ain't talking tongues, or screaming bout no holy grail
Just dreamin bout the only way to shelter you for now
Well anyone can tell, when the thunder roll
We all wear out our souls, we all wear out our souls

Don't deny the wind, I surely don't deny the dark
Only wanna lift that worry, for a moment off your heart

Penny for your sweet salvation, dollar your mercy mind
Twenty for the whole damn holy rollin ball of karma if ya buy tonight
Everybody looking for some peace of mind sometimes
I'll sell it to you, just a hallelujah hustler, hot glory tonight

(Walk on boy)
I got a special called the savoir
I got the promise by the pound
I bet it makes you wanna wave your hands and dance the old demons out
You wanna hear them ringing holy
You wanna hear the angel band
You wanna hear them singing ole mama, over and over again

Take a little taste and try to let the devil be
A momentary lapse of heartache, a temporary revelry

Penny for your sweet salvation, dollar your mercy mind
Twenty for the whole damn holy rollin ball of karma if ya buy tonight
Everybody looking for some peace of mind sometimes
I’ll sell it to you, just a hallelujah hustler, hot glory tonight
