Lyrics
Jackie don't chill, he's popped too many pills
Says he's gonna set all the people free
Jane's much the same, she's never played the game
They used to like to keep me company
They never could stand still, always up on that hill
Said they had to check out the territory
'Cause see, the word was out, there was no doubt about it
Undercover men on every corner of their property
But Jackie just took Jane by the hand, he said
"Come on here a while, honey
'Cause tonight I'm gonna take you right back
'Cause you remember that night we used to feel so fine?"
The night we nearly got busted
Yeah, we got down on our knees
The night we nearly got busted
Yeah, it was the Lord who set us free
Lord who set us free, yeah
"We nearly got busted
Me and Larry, love, we're just too damn slick"
Jane, all those thrills, they started spill out all over
She said she could, she could hear 'em talking in the hall
And you know, Jack just used to fill up that broken cup
He swore he saw 'em looking through the holes in the motel wall
But he said, "Hey, baby, we got time to kill
Eat another goddamn pill
I'm gonna check out the coastguard's commentary
'Cause I believe our ship is coming in tonight
And I feel so fine, I'm gonna spin out
Another tale of sweet testimony now
So come on here, baby, come on here, baby
I'm gonna take you by the hand to the promised land
'Cause you remember that night we used to feel so fine?
Used to feel so fine, remember?"
The night we nearly got busted
Got down on our knees
The night we nearly got busted
Yeah, it was the Lord who set us free
The night we nearly got busted
Yeah, we got down on our knees
The night we nearly got busted
Yeah, it was the Lord who set us free
Lord who set us free, yeah
'Cause I feel like getting down on my knees again tonight, baby
'Cause I know, I know the Lord's gonna set us free
Shh, baby, shh, baby
I swear I can see some light comin' over the hill
There's something going on outside, man, I don't like the feel of
Yeah, the vibe's gone cold in here, honey
Your bag packed, I feel we gotta run sometime
'Cause I tell you, shh, man
Turn the lights down low, honey
Turn that stereo off, I can't think no more
Yeah, baby, you're right, listen up
We can't wait, we can't hesitate
'Cause they're picking padlocks at the gate
Smell of violence, blind suckers on the side of silence
Smiling, giving the eye
Checking out our fingerprint file inquiries
Digging in the diaries
The motherfucker's been messing with the phone line
Wait, don't hesitate
'Cause they're lifting, you know, padlocks at the gate
Smell of violence, blind suckers on the side of silence
Smiling, giving the eye
Checking out our fingerprint file inquiries
Digging in the diaries
The motherfucker's been messing with the phone line
