Finding God In The Music: Sanctuary

Sanctuary
Hiss Golden Messenger

Feeling bad
Feeling blue
Can't get out of my own mind
I know how to sing about it

Ring of bone
A little lonely
I better hit the road, child
We can cry into the phone a while

Jubilee
Find me
Steady with your hope now
That little light's gotta last a while

Like an arrow to the marrow
I know it feels like hell now
'Til we make it to the other side

You want good news
You want sanctuary
When you try to get real
Oh, they break you on the wheel
You wanna move
You want sanctuary
That's all that I can offer to you
From the bottom to the bone
To the bone

Get used to the bad news
It's all part of the show, child
Handsome Johnny had to go, child

Did you feel the bad news?
Oh, there's something you should know now
Little things that'll cut you down

Ragged people
Hard times
And the lightning strikes the poorhouse
The rich man cries like a crocodile

Salvation
Despair
But the game that they taught me
Sometimes it feels like it just ain't fair

You want good news
You want sanctuary
When you try to get real
Oh, they break you on the wheel
You wanna move
You want sanctuary
That's all that I can offer to you
From the bottom to the bone
To the bone

Yeah, to the bone
Ah, to the bone
Yeah, to the bone
Ah, to the bone
Yeah, to the bone
Ah, to the bone

Feeling bad
Feeling blue
Can't get out of my own mind
But I know how to sing about it
