The Bitter Suite IV and V: The Congregation and the Sermon in the Silt

[Part I: The Congregation] They come in crowds to hear him speak And he will greet them in a smile that sticks like Vaseline So do your best to keep your distance in this instance You're a stranger in the weeds, some things are better left unseen Commanding listeners to believe Manipulations of narrations: "Anno Domini" Not with a whimper but a bang he'll take the stage And leave their jaws upon the floor begging for more So Father, won't you tend your flock and save us now? Won't you save us now? Come and save us [Part II: The Sermon in the Silt] I hear you're looking for God Well I can show you the way just as long as you can pay But the price is going up... And like a prayer to the air we deliver you to glory (pay up) I swear you'll get what you need And we can lead you to salvation with the right denomination It all lies in your hands Or in your pocketbook to be more demanding [Chorus] Don't you tread too close to the line this time Don't get lead too close to the light this time You went far too close to the line this time Line this time (hey! hey kid! hey kid, get a God!) (hey! hey, hey, hey! hey kid, get a God!) So you committed a sin? Well, we can rid that with a remedy The bidding starts at $70—sold to one and all Now get your hands ready to make a withdrawal You've got no other way to find what you want If it's a saving that you're craving and your confidence is fading Be calm, the Doctor's in I got the cure, because I know where you've been [Chorus] Don't you tread too close to the line this time Don't get lead too close to the light this time You went far too close to the line this time Line this time If you wanna get up, reserve a room on high Put your coins in my hat and don't ask why If you wanna get up, reserve a room on high Put your coins in my hat and don't ask why If you wanna get up, reserve a room on high Put your coins in my hat and don't ask why [Chorus] Don't you tread too close to the line this time Don't get lead too close to the light this time You went far too close to the line this time Line this time
