I tried to pray like Jesus, I tried to preach like paul But I could not get right with god at all I was raised to rise for the risen one But all I see is the setting sun Now, what the dyin' gambler knows, the sinner sells And we gon' revelate upon it, ring them bells Get straight and meditate upon it, till it's done I seen the halo below the setting sun Now, all that's solid is gon' melt into air But honey, I don't care Just kiss my lips till they split, till my red blood run Then put your arms around me Like a circle 'round the setting sun
