Jake Newton: lyrics

Samson and Delilah walking hand in hand
Marching down the boulevard
He’s wearing a hat to cover up his head
hiding like a movie star
And she whispers in his ear so no one else can hear
the words so soft and clear

Sing Hallelujah but what’s it to ya
If you can’t feel the fire in the center of your bones
If you can’t find a comfort in the place you call home,
If your hearts on the ocean sinking like a stone
you might as well be alone
You might as well be alone

Now me I’m either looking for a prophecy or I’m hunting for three meals and the rent
And I’ve got a taste for money that’s just eating me
So I’m praying for more dollars than sense
And in this cold dark night when there isn’t a shred of light
to warm my cold insides

I Sing Hallelujah but what’s it to ya
If you can’t feel the fire in the center of your bones
If you can’t find a comfort in the place you call home,
If your hearts on the ocean sinking like a stone you might as well be alone
You might as well be alone


Please tell me we’d be better off like Bonnie and Clyde
waiting for our moment to die
See I would rather throw away a half lived life
Filled with bullets by your side
And this world of tears when I find that my only fear
is that I’ll loose you dear.....

But she said the funny thing about a telephone line
is that it works both ways you see
So there’s just really no good reason on God’s green earth
that you shouldn’t be calling me

Sing Hallelujah but what’s it to ya
If you can’t feel the fire in the center of your bones
If you can’t find a comfort in the place you call home,
If your hearts on the ocean sinking like a stone
you might as well be alone
You might as well be alone
