Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
The church is like a tinderbox The preachers got a match Salvation is a raining down And falling down the cracks The choir master revved 'em up And washed 'em white as snow Somebody's crying in the very back row The cemetery's sizzling Out behind the fence They're buttoning down the devil Like Jesus with a wrench The sisters are a twisting And the men are singing low Somebody's crying in the very back row The elders and the deacons Are dancing like a bar The children are a screaming like they're Trapped inside a car The world's about to end, and everybody knows Now the shadows are a stealing Across the empty pews The piano players sleeping And the choir missed it's cue The Pentecost is simmering The preachers going home Somebody's crying in the very back row Somebody's crying in the very back row Somebody's crying in the very back row Somebody's crying in the very back row Somebody's crying in the very back row
