Artist : Bruce Hornsby    Title : [Preacher In The Ring (Part One)]    -----------------    [Spent the night over at a friend's place    Sunday morning came, he was in my face    Said I want to take you to a place    Put you in a state of grace    Drove way out to a cinderblock house    I walked in like a Thomas in doubt    Saw a man in a reptile suit    With a rattling sound    Whoa no, whoa no    I can't get with this here I know    Never seen nothing like this before       Hallelujah and praise the man    Upstairs with the long hand    Wrap the snake and the angels sing    Take your ride with the preacher in the ring       There was biting and jumping and moans and wails    Believers out shaking on the spirit trail    Then some came and threw the man in jail, the man in jail    He lifted up the snake overhead so high    Eyes closed tight, he praised the sky    Was a wild-eyed scramble over tables and chairs to see the light    Whoa whoa so long    Copperheads and sacred songs    The book of Mark souldn't be wrong       Hallelujah and praise the man    Upstairs with the long hand    Wrap the snake and watch 'em all sting    As they go ten rounds with the preacher in the ring       They're locking them up, they've got 'em on the run    MIght as well sue all the doctors when they don't get it done    Not everything, everybody does works all the time, son    Whoa no, whoa no    Say you got the answer, well how do you know?    It works for me, that's all I know       Hallelujah and praise the man    Upstairs with the long hand    Wrap the snake and watch 'em all sting    As they go ten rounds with the preacher in the ring    ]
