You’re gonna need somebody on your bonds
You’re gonna need somebody on your bonds
You better pull off your shoes
You better pull off your shoes
When I was a young boy, well you don’t need to know
Yeah, when I was a young boy, you didn’t need to know
You’re gonna pull up by my side
You’re gonna pull up by my bed and put me to sleep at night
Where I’ll be safe and so safe
I said Jesus, I said Jesus free me from the cave
I said Jesus, I said Jesus free me from the cave
At midnight death came as if he had his way
At midnight death came as if he had his way
You’re gonna need somebody on your bonds
You’re gonna need somebody on your bonds
I asked him for a lantern and he showed me the way
I asked him for a dollar and he got me some change
I asked them for a cup and the led me to the river
I asked you for a piece and you gave me a sliver
You’re gonna need someone besides yourself to know
You’re gonna need someone besides yourself to know
Salvation, salvation is a secret god
Salvation, salvation is a secret god
At midnight death came as if he had his way
At midnight death came along this way
We’re gonna tear down the building
We’re gonna tear down the building
We’re gonna tear down the building with our noise
We’re gonna tear down the building
We’re gonna tear down the building
We’re gonna tear down the building with our noise
And the corkscrews tear and tear
And the corkscrews tear and tear
tear and tear and tear and tear and tear and tear and tear and tear
