Like the whipping stick you raised me with

C                   D
A scared woman in a private hell

Hushed voice like electric bells


C                  D
Strange talk about Edgar Cayce

And the long lame walk of the dark seventies

I wish I believed like you do, yeah you

In the myth of a merciful God

In the myth of a heaven and hell

Back to Culver City and the old neighborhood

C                 D
Needed to know if you were really gone

Needed to know if you were gone for good
