The Spirit Ain't In Me No More

from Children Live the Fear by Bill White

/

lyrics

For a split second back there
I had a one in a million chance
To break out the windows
And join in the dance
But now the time has flown by
And my feet are too sore
I missed the train to glory
And the spirit aint in me no more

Once I was terrified of heights
But walked across the Aurora bridge
On the day I was baptized
In the Creek below Cane ridge
The bible was my sole protection
And I survived the jungle war
Id go back home and cast out the demons
But the spirit aint in me no more




I used to preached the gospel
Outside the Bon Marche
Until two women took me home
And tried to make me stay
They fed me and they bathed me
And they raped me on a wooden floor
Made me a worthless rotten reprobate
And the spirit aint in me no more


The crosses have now fallen
From the spires of the church
And the broken congregation
Has given up the search
All that I held sacred
Is shipwrecked on a foreign shore
Id build a new house like Crusoe did
But he spirit aint in me no more
