Jack, he don't chill He's popped too many pills Says he's gonna set all the people free Jane's much the same She's never played the game They used to like to keep me company They never could stand still Always up on that hill Said they oughta check out the territory 'Cause, see, the word was out There was no doubt about it Undercover men on every corner of their property But Jack, he just took Jane by the hand He said, 'Come on over here a while, honey 'Cause tonight I'm gonna take you right back You remember that night We used to feel so fine.' The night we nearly got busted Got down on our knees The night we nearly got busted It was the Lord who set us free We nearly got busted, but me and Larry Love, we're just too damn slick Well Jane, all those thrills They started to spill out all over She said she could, she could hear them talking in the hall Jack just used to fill up that broken cup He swore he saw 'em Looking through the holes in the motel wall But he said 'Hey, baby, we got time to kill Eat another goddamn pill I'm gonna check out the coastguard's commentary 'Cause I believe our ship is comin' in tonight And I feel so fine I'm gonna spin out another tale of sweet testimony So come on over here, baby Come on over here, baby I'm gonna take you by the hand to the Promised Land 'Cause remember that night? You used to feel so fine You used to feel so fine.' The night we nearly got busted Got down on our knees The night we nearly got busted It was the Lord who set us free We can't wait, can't hesitate, they're picking the padlocks at the gate Smell the violence, blind suckers on the side of silence Are smiling, giving the eye Checking out our fingerprint files Inquiries, digging in our diaries The motherfuckers been a-messin' with the phone line
