Holy Man

David Marcouillier

Lyrics:

Well you know everything is changing, you can’t tell which way to go.
It’s just booze, guns, and acid, and one huge pile of blow.
I gotta make some corrections, it’s not hard to see.
Maybe find myself a holy man to take this devil out of me.

The world is full of hostile people no matter where you turn.
Well I’ve built entire cities and I stayed to watch the burn.
I try to keep it all together but it’s proved too much for me.
I need to find myself a holy man to take this devil out of me.

There’s too many no good women taking up all of my time
And a hundred more just like them that are queuing up in line.
But I never should have quit you, baby, it’s become so plain to see.
It’ll take more than a holy man to take this devil out of me.

I keep hearing my story in someone else’s songs.
I’ve seen a thousand lonesome oceans and I stopped to sing along.
Baby, now I’ll stop looking for that other side of me.
I don’t need no holy man, I’ll just set the devil free.
