lyrics

O IT'S A LONG ROAD DOWN
AND SECRETS HERE GET BURIED IN THE GROUND
BUT YOU COME ALL THIS WAY
TO SHOW OUR MAN THAT YOU THE BADDEST BOSS AROUND
O BOY, YOU AIN'T LONG FOR THIS OLD TOWN

O IT'S A LONG DAY GONE
AND WE ALWAYS LEARN TOO LATE WHEN WE WERE WRONG
BUT WHEN IT FALLS
YOU KNOW WE ALL MUST FACE THAT HOUR ALONE
O BOY, BOW YOUR HEAD, YOU'RE GOING HOME

O YOU ANGELS
O YOU DEVILS
COME ALL YOU AGENTS
OF OUR LORD'S JUDGEMENT
AND LAY HIM DOWN

O, IT'S A LONG NIGHT'S REST
WON'T NO ONE COME LAYIN' ROSES AT YOUR BREAST
DID YOU MEET YOUR TIME WITH HEAD HELD HIGH AND ALL YOUR SINS CONFESSED?
O BOY, DID YOU GIVE THIS LIFE YOUR BEST?

We strive to center marginalized perspectives; destigmatize mental illness, disability, and survival after sexual violence; to celebrate the spectrums of gender and sexuality; and to serve the New Haven community. ... more
