Color me once color me twice

Everything gonna turn out nice

Everlasting arms you gotta keep me from these false alarms

Alarm, alarm I see you sad

Maybe I see you I'm glad

Maybe maybe t he fire of her desire

Patience patience said the man

Patience patience I can't understand

Patience like a man and a wife I got patience on my neck like a cold cold knife

I say Jack be nimble Jack fall dead

Jack bend over and give Jilly head

Oh you gotta help my body heal my soul

Verse 2:

Dead men working a sinner a saint

Mixing up a pail of paint

Painted the house, black as night

When the sun came up the house was white

Gotta go on gotta go on

we gotta go on you gotta go on

you gotta go on

go on

go on

try and live life like I couldn't
