(Linden/Powers)      Stand up and take it like a man   You're spitting out teeth and sinking in the sand   Crawling on your knees through the promised land   Your barbed-wire baby's got a different plan      When a band of gold is a ring of fire   The price of love gets higher and higher   Her heart's gone bad like rusted tin   So much sorrow in this house of sin      Tear the front door down and paint it red   You're bound and chained to an empty bed   You can't ignore what the preacher said   No rest for the wicked until you're dead      When a band of gold...      Jezabel lay in Jerusalem's streets   Her dying kiss was bittersweet   From the painted mouth that swore deceit   The dogs took her hands and the soles of her feet      When a band of gold...
