Gutter Punk from Miracle Service by Andy Squyres

Gutter Punk by Andy Squyres

Verse 1
It is such a pity when there are no words to say
Just stick with me baby cuz I always find a way
I stay with the dying and I do not look away
I’m on a roll now
Living in the city but I cannot pay my rent
Scratching out a living like a neuropathic itch
Made it past security and straight into a ditch
I’m on a roll now

Chorus
Creation groans I’m awestruck
Like a payday loan back the truck up
Spill your drink spill your guts
Drunk In the gutter like a gutter punk
I can’t afford to live in this economy
The Spirit of the Lord has got a hold on me
Buckle up if you insist
Drinking of this eucharist

Verse 2
I’m gonna tell the devil that I will not sell my soul
I’m a dog returning to his vomit like a bone
The scorpion is waiting for me underneath the stone
I’m on a roll now

Bridge
Landed on my knees Hit a fever pitch
Prayed a fervent prayer but it doesn’t make sense
I’m an open wound singing songs like this
Hear me cry out now
Get me to the church, get me to the bar
Even if it hurts I wanna be where you are
You’re the second place prize, close but no cigar
Hear me cry out now
