Citizen Cope - Salvation Lyrics

Say Judas came up to D.C.
He'd been down in Georgia for a while
He drove a 944 ,
He bought with the soul
Of a blonde-headed kid
With a left-handed guitar

Now he's lookin' for me
Citizen C-O-P-E
Sign the dotted line please
For the fake fifties
Now Judas answer me
Since I was the age to speak
Haven't you been listening?
Salvation

[chorus:]
Salvation (rpt 4x)

Well he came to town
Found the woman that I love
And he fucked her down
She told him where I live
Off of 9th in the alleyway
Where they say
They got the coke and the dope
Until you end up broken
"You should have let... smack get you" he said
"But now you gotta deal with me instead
I'm downstairs on the Motorola
You know I've got 3 golden bullets
And I'm shootin for your soul"
Salvation

(chorus)

Well I came down with my Martin blazin'
My voice.. It was cuttin him up
Now he's aimin
His first shot grazed my eye
I lost half of my sight
And my firstborn's life
The second shot knocked off my guitar moon
And it made my guitar kinda play out of tune
But I just kept strummin
Like I'd nothing to lose
He turned the third on himself
'Cause the bastard knew
Salvation I'm calling
Salvation

(chorus)
salvation, I'm callin
salvation, I'm callin
salvation, I'm callin
salvation....... oh yeah

Put the gun down (repeat)
