Album: AMOS LEE - Last Days At The Lodge (2008)

[Verse 1] 
He got a new mercy 
new grace 
Street corner preacher 
With the angry face 
He got 2 years off 
For good behavior 
Back in the neighborhood 
Working for the city 
There's two old ladies 
And a junkie, now now 
He can see for sure 
That his work is cut out 
Though he walks [bad word] the shadows 
We wont fear his neighbor 
Back in the neighborhood 
Working for the saitor 

 [bad word]  
Bau, bau 
Put it on back 
Ah put it in 
Ah bau bau, 
Put it ooh bop 
Ah put it in 
Ah bau bau 
Put it ooh bop 
Ah put it in 
Ah, bau bau 
Ya ya 

[Verse 2] 
Well he understands 
The need for livin it large 
But its hard to get a job 
With a felony charge 
Now he's working in a hospital 
Washin dishes 
Walking [bad word] the fields 
Of the lost inhibitions 
There is death everywhere 
The new, been addiction 
To save the liver 
From the waking death is his conviction 
The eyes of man 
Well he seeks no favor 
Back in the neighborhood 
Workin for the savior 

 [bad word]  
But there's a whole lot of trouble all around 
Every night the same old siren sound 
Ah there's a whole lot of trouble all around 
Children, soldiers, in this battle ground 

 [bad word]  
Ah put it in 
Ah bau bau 
Put 'em bop 
Ah put it in 
Ah bau bau 
Put 'em bop 
Ah put it in 
bau bau 
Ya ya 

[Verse 3] 
Well a new sun 
And a second chance 
He unbolts the door 
And hops ever the fence 
Young woman with a baby 
That her daddy gave her 
Back in the neighborhood 
Workin for the savior 
But all around 
The war rages on 
Burnt out houses 
With the front door gone 
Well his faith is his fountain 
His love is his neighbor 
Back in the neighborhood 
Workin for the saitor 

[Bridge] 
Whoa oh oh oh, oh 
Yea, ahhh, 

 [bad word]  
Bau, bau 
Put it on back 
Ah put it in 
Ah bau bau, 
Put it ooh bop 
Ah put it in 
Ah bau bau 
Put it ooh bop 
Ah put it in 
Ah, bau bau 
Ya ya 

[Outro] 
He got a new mercy 
new grace 
Street corner preacher 
With the angry face 
He got two years off 
For good behavior 
Back in the neighborhood 
Workin for the savior
