LIVE FROM THE GATES OF HELL
Smith-Hangan-Solem 2006 BMI

SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED TO SHAKY TIM
HE WAS DEAD BEFORE HE HIT THE GROUND
IT THE LYIN TO HIMSELF THAT DID HIM IN
HE COULD GO IN THE CONFESSION BOX
AND NEVER COME OUT

AND NOW’ HE’S PLAYIN’ A LITTLE SLIDE ON AMAZIN’ DISGRACE
NOT LOUD ENOUGH THAT ANYONE COULD TELL.
AT LEAST HE’S PLAYIN, AND HE’S PLAYIN’ IT LIVE
LIVE FROM THE GATES OF HELL
LIVE FROM THE GATES OF HELL

THE CORNOR WAS LAUGHIN’ WHEN HE TOOK YOU DOWN
SAYS THESE SINS THEY ARE ALL YOU GOT
IT’S A FIFTY DOLLAR CAB RIDE TO THE SACRED GROUND
AND WHERE YOU GOIN’ ITS HOT, HOT, HOT
NOW YOU KNOW THEY’LL CUT YOUR THROAT FOR A BAG OF DOPE
WHEN THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO SELL
SO DON’T WASTE MY TIME WE’RE TAPEIN’ LIVE,
LIVE FROM THE GATES OF HELL)
LIVE FROM THE GATES OF HELL
THERE IS A GOD SIZED THUNDERHEAD PISSED OFF BY THE PHONE
PREPARIN’ TO DROP A DIME
DIALIN’ A LITTLE NUMBER CALLED FIRE AND BRIMSTONE.
I’D SAY YOUR NUMBER IS UP THIS TIME.

WHERE YOU LOST THE THREAD THAT’S WHERE YOU MAKE YOUR BED
THEY DOIN’ ROOM CHECKS AT THE RED HOTEL
SO GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES START PRAYIN’ FOR US, PLEASE
LIVE FROM THE GATES OF HELL
