Holy Smoke (live) Lyrics


Believe in me and send no money,

I died on the cross and that ain't funny

But my so called friends are making me a joke,

They missed out what I said like I never spoke

They choose what they wanna hear - don't tell a lie,

They just leave out the truth as they're watching you die

Saving your souls by taking your money,

Flies round shit, bees around honey

Holy smoke, holy smoke,

Plenty bad preachers for the Devil to stoke

Feed'em in feet first this is no joke,

This is thirsty work making holy smoke

Jimmy Reptile and all his friends

Say they gonna be with you at the end

Burning records burning books,

Holy soldiers Nazi looks

Crocodile smiles just wait a while,

Till the TV Queen gets her make up clean

I've lived in filth I've lived in sin,

And I still smell cleaner that the shit you're in

Holy smoke, holy smoke,

Plenty bad preachers for the Devil to stoke

Feed'em in feet first this is no joke,

This is thirsty work making holy smoke

(2:09-Solo: Janick Gers)

(2:31-Solo: Dave Murray)

They ain't religious but they ain't no fools,

When Noah built his Cadillac it was cool

Two by two they're still going down,

And the satellite circus just left town

I think they're strange and when they're dead

They can have a Lincoln for their bed

Friend of the President - trick of the tail,

Now they ain't got a prayer - 100 years in jail

Holy smoke, holy smoke,

Plenty bad preachers for the Devil to stoke

Feed'em in feet first this is no joke,

This is thirsty work making holy smoke
