Gloryhound Lyrics by Daniel Amos

Kalhoun

1991

[Verse 1]
Bombs and money and a death wish
I don't need your inspiration
I love you honey, but you're bound to vanish
In some fiery desperation

[Chorus 1]
Slide down
You're sliding down a flagpole to the devil in hell
Some kinda gloryhound
Who loves those demagogue hucksters and their wishing wells

[Verse 2]
I'm seeing blood red letters on black armbands
I won't hide from the mob's derision
Feeding hollow-point bullets to a hungry man
You got him praying for the cataclysm
Another gloryhound

[Verse 3]
You smuggle guns and Bibles in a satellite dish
Can't stop you at the customs station
Beware the full-metal hook inside the miracle fish
A neo-gospel for the hungry nations

[Chorus 2]
Strap down
Secure the weekend warrior to his TV seat
Some kinda gloryhound
A flak-jacket yuppie in a camouflage jeep
He's a gloryhound
Some kinda gloryhound

[Chorus 1]
Slide down
You're sliding down a flagpole to the devil in hell
Some kinda gloryhound
Who loves those demagogue hucksters and their wishing wells

[Outro]
(Shine the light on me, shine the light on me)
(Shine the light on glory)
(Shine the light on me, shine the light on me)
(Shine the light on glory)
(Shine the light on me, shine the light on me)
(Shine the light on glory)
(Shine the light on me, shine the light on me)
(Shine the light on glory)
(Shine the light on me, shine the light on me)
(Shine the light on glory)
(Shine the light on me, shine the light on me)
(Shine the light on glory)
