No Angel To Lay Me Away Hellacopters

Sun didn't rise this morning

Not a sign come noon

Heard the noise of a thousand voices

But no one else was in my room

Reached for my holy bible

But it seems as though i've lost my ways

Don't want no superstition to carry me down

Got the devil grinning in my face

Make me a pallet on your floor

Mama tell me what to do

Won't serve it to me right

C'mon and bring me good news

Help me get rid of these blues

Got me stuck by the wayside

In the wee wee hours

Won't you spare this denier

From the brimstone and the fire

Lord won't you give me power

Don't want no angel to lay me away

No saint to worry my ol' mind

Write me no death letter

Bound for worse and not better

Jesus don't leave me behind

No i don't need no head stone

Or writings on my grave

Break 'em on down - shake 'em on down

Lord knows i can't be saved

I'll never pray for no mercy no more

Or make amendments for my ways

I got time to reconsider

While i stay there and wither

With the devil grinning in my face
