Evangeline

Terry Scott Taylor, Jerry Chamberlain, Tim Chandler, Greg Flesch, Ed McTaggart

[Verse 1]
She's speaking like a gibbering foreigner
Got a cripple in her clutches
Seems to float like a gaudy angel on strings
Over wheelchairs and crutches
Came to check it out, have a laugh or two
But I'm caught up in the fury and wonder
Watch the leg of the fat lady next to me
Grow several inches longer

[Pre-Chorus 1]
There are rumors about the bank account, affairs and double-dealings
But faith sneaks up like a mischievous child, and you find yourself believing
I could be deceived, but I believe
That I just got a healing from

[Chorus]
Evangeline
Evangeline
Don't know what's really there inside of her
Revival queen Evangeline
Does a miracle occur somehow, in spite of her?

[Verse 2]
Now the tent sags in the Texas heat
She's worked the crowd to a frenzy
And an old man's rolling on the sawdust floor
In the throes of the demon of envy
The organ music swells, and the choir sings
An off-key "Amazing Grace"
Despite the body odor and the Texas flies
There's not a dry eye in the place

[Pre-Chorus 2]
With hands in the air and eyes to heaven, I find myself agreeing
With each lost sinner in the place and every word Evangeline is screaming
I could be deceived, but I believe
That I just got a healing from

[Chorus]
Evangeline
Evangeline
Don't know what's really there inside of her
Revival queen Evangeline
Does a miracle occur somehow, in spite of her?

[Bridge]
Understand me, I'm not a gullible man
(Amen)
And I'm self-possessed, take pride in keeping my wits
(Hallelujah)
I'm saying things like "amen" and "hallelujah"
(Amen)
Words that until this very moment have never crossed my lips
(Hallelujah)

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 3]
All said and done, doesn't make much difference if she's sincere or deceiving
She may not possess the faith she inspires or know the One that I'm receiving
I'm on my knees, and I believe
That I just got a healing through
[Chorus]
Evangeline
Evangeline
Don't know what's really there inside of her
Revival queen Evangeline
Does a miracle occur somehow, in spite of her?

[Chorus]
Evangeline
Evangeline
Don't know what's really there inside of her
She plays a mean tambourine
Does a miracle occur somehow, in spite of her?

[Outro]
Evangeline
Evangeline
Evangeline
