Purgatory Blues Lyrics
"I thought I needed redemption
but I let that thought go
I guess I'll cut my losses and turn my ticks at the magic show
you spin your wheels through time
and get tired of the grind
I want to find a good man but
instead I settle for what I find
there are no real innocents,
no matter who's side your on
It's a littered path to paradise,
that will always steer you wrong
put your hands where I can seem em'
put your hands next to mine
I wanted something to believe in
before I got sold on the lie."
so get it in, throw in your cheap shots
cheap shot baby
isn't that all life really is, a bunch of have nots
and the gods will laugh when you think
you've found your lot and take it all away
isn't that all life really is, a bunch of cheap shots and
you give it what you've got
you give it what you've got
and the gods will laugh when you think
you've found your lot and take it all away
they'll take it all away away you fool,
oh they take it, take it all away
redemption purgatory redemption purgatory."
but I let that thought go
I guess I'll cut my losses and turn my ticks at the magic show
you spin your wheels through time
and get tired of the grind
I want to find a good man but
instead I settle for what I find
no matter who's side your on
It's a littered path to paradise,
that will always steer you wrong
put your hands where I can seem em'
put your hands next to mine
I wanted something to believe in
before I got sold on the lie."
cheap shot baby
isn't that all life really is, a bunch of have nots
and the gods will laugh when you think
you've found your lot and take it all away
you give it what you've got
you give it what you've got
and the gods will laugh when you think
you've found your lot and take it all away
they'll take it all away away you fool,
oh they take it, take it all away

this is one of my favorite song from JatL. it makes me sad hearing it. i think it's about giving it your best and thinking you've made it, then suddenly, everything is taken away from you.
