Strange Religion

Mark Lanegan


Can you stay here next to me? 
We'll just keep drivin' 
Because of you I see a light 
The Buick's a Century, a '73 like you 
Some strange religion 

I get my hands on some money momma, 
and a shot in the night 
Stared down the past and just scarred my eyes 
Now I know there's no easy ride 
She's been the kind who would take it in stride 

Some jack of diamonds kicked her heart around 
Did they know they were walking on holy ground? 
Almost called it a day so many times 
Didn't know what it felt like to be alive 
'Til you been a friend to me, like nobody else could be 

Keep my hands on the wheel now momma 
Gonna honestly try 
She looked past the scars and the burned out eyes 
You could see I'm no easy ride 
She's just the kind who might get you to buy 
Some strange religion 

This jack of diamonds kicked her heart around 
Shoulda known they were walking on holy ground 
This life might eventually just be the end of me, 
will I still be with you?

Get in next to me, just keep driving 
Cause of you I been alive 
And this Buick's a Century, '73 like you 
Some strange religion 

The Buick's a Century, '73 like you 
Some strange religion
