about

Quartet for banjolele, voice, chain, and shoe.

lyrics

I’m just waiting for that last day, angel blowin’ his horn, announcing to the world that it’s the day of the Lord. And I know when I hear it that I’m gonna be changed. And I…O Lord, I want to be changed. / There ain’t no sin I haven’t entertained, and I ain’t no stranger to the strangest of ways. But when I hear that trumpet I am gonna be changed, and I…O Lord, I want to be changed. / I want to be changed in the blink of an eye. I’m tired of pain, but I’m too scared to die. I want to be changed but don’t think that I can change…can change…unless you do it. / I’m a stubborn jackass and I’m set in my ways, a sedentary monument to my better days. I know I’m a criminal, and I know how to please. I know I’m a sinner and I’ve got the disease. But I know you’ve got the cure for this particular strain, so I…O Lord, I want to be changed. / I want to be changed in the blink of an eye, but I’m scared of the pain, and I don’t want to try. I want to be changed but don’t think that I can change…can change…unless you do it. / And I want you to do it. In my secret heart, I want you to do it. I want to be changed...
