Strike up the band
Whoa, the conductor is beckoning
No, don't you get it, don't you get it? Now, don't you move
Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it
Just stay where I can see you
And you'll be thy witness
We sure are in for a show tonight
Just stay where I can see you
No, don't you get it, don't you get it? Now, don't you move
Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it
From the hearts and the wrists you allegedly slit
Douse the lights
Whoa, the conductor is beckoning
Douse the lights
If the scene were a parish you'd all be condemned
Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it
We've got the gunslinger extraordinaire
No, don't you get it, don't you get it? Now, don't you move
Don't you move
We sure are in for a show tonight
Strike up the band
Strike up the band
No, don't you get it, don't you get it? Now, don't you, don't you move
Whoa, the conductor is beckoning
Stay where I can see you
For God sakes preach with conviction
Douse the lights
Strike up the band
Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it
Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it
And I for one can see no blood
Forged at the pulpit with forked tongues
And I for one won't stand for this
Strike up the band
Just stay where I can see you
We sure are in for a show tonight
No, don't you get it, don't you get it? Now, don't you move
Whoa, the conductor is beckoning
Whoa, the conductor is beckoning
In this little number we are graced
Selling faux sermons
Douse the lights
Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it
No, don't you get it, don't you get it? Now, don't you move
'Cause I am a new wave gospel sharp
Whoa, the conductor is beckoning
Strike up the band
By two displays of character
Walking contradictions
So gentlemen, if you are gonna preach
Don't you move
