Jess Klein - Gates of Hell

Gates of Hell

Woke up this morning and I walked out my front door
Woke up this morning and I walked out my front door
Something was telling me I'd never seen a day like this before

A voice inside me said to look down in the well
A voice inside me said to look down in the well
Right there beneath the surface
Fires raging like the blazing gates of hell

I called the sheriff
I rang the bell
Said we're living inches from the gates of hell
His face went funny
He tipped his hat
Then he took off again in seconds flat

I called my mama, I said Mama help me please
I called my mama, I said Mama help me please
She said Child I been to hell and back,
I've never seen the likes of times like these.

I called my daddy, I said Please don't make me beg
I called my daddy, I said Please don't make me beg
He said I'd like to help you, but the bank repossessed my legs

I called the doctor
I called the priest
The priest was spitting venom at the doctor on his knees
I cried for mercy, Help me escape!
Mercy sent a spoiled child in a Superman's cape

I climbed in the bucket and I lowered myself down
I climbed in the bucket and I lowered myself down
I'd rather meet the devil than to stay here in this crazy circus town
Said I'd rather meet the devil than to stay here in this crazy circus town
