EVANGELINE

I hear you talk about reprieve They hold me down and they run free Watching someone's son get off To what they've done to me I heard them praise Evangeline I heard my own name ring Like a bell in the shadow of a higher tower No reproach, oh power Oh power controlling thee Evangeline Oh, Evangeline When I'm walking it's faster than you running It's my day in the sun But if I can't have it then I guess I don't want it You left no name on my tongue Freak preachers in the streets gonna bring you down Mind readers in the sheets gonna sell you out But if I can't have it then I guess I don't want it Oh power, oh power, oh power Oh, Evangeline Oh, Evangeline Loosen the vise grip Grip tight to my vices Unsafe to let go There's danger in niceness Loosen the vise grip Grip tight to my vices Unsafe to let go There's danger in niceness Oh, loosen the vise grip Grip tight to my vices Unsafe to let go There's danger in niceness Tied to my niceness Oh, grip tight Grip tight Grip tight to my niceness, Evangeline Oh power, oh power, oh power, oh No reproach Oh power, oh No power, oh power, oh power, Oh, Evangeline, Evangeline Oh power, oh power, oh power, oh Oh power, oh power
