Jeremiah Lyrics by Wares

Wares

2017

[Chorus]
My first cousin, Jeremiah
He went down to North Korea
Came back in '54 to no applause
[Verse 1]
He looked just the same
His brain got rearranged
He believed he was the only son of God
Under robes and holy garb
Lies the spirit and the mark of a quiet man
He once told me life is fleeting
Keeping secrets makes you weary
There are better things to do than hate a man
He lays down near hills and rivers
Holds his hands to stop the shivering
Tells his friends he's living off the land
Sometimes he hides under the covers
Singing "We are all each other's one and only"
[Chorus]
Jeremiah and his magpie Magdalene
He sighs
He's living in his car and will be for a while
[Verse 2]
He'll take his story on the road with his woman and the clothes
He made from old fatigues, as is the style
He puts the car in park
Him: "Do you trust me?"
Her: "Are we really gonna live forever"
'with a half gallon tank of gas, an old road map and a stick to check the weather?'
[Chorus]
Hey Jeremiah
Keep your rosary on tight when you're driving
All night, all night
Hey Jeremiah
Keep your rosary on tight when you're driving
All night, all night
Hey Jeremiah
Keep your rosary on tight when you're driving
All night, all night
Hey Jeremiah
Keep your rosary on tight when you're driving
All night, all night
