| Lyrics: | In 1935 I was living in paradise, I had a friend up in Cicero.
We used to go out to the track
and knock a few whiskeys back.
I'd lose my shirt and then I'd lose my way home
I was
driving my Stutz back home through Justice in the dark,
when suddenly the blood froze in my
veins.
She was standing by the road in an incandescent glow.
My heart said 'run' but my foot
slammed on the brakes.
She said "Please, please would you justify my wish?
I'm trying
to get to Heaven, will you tell me where that is?"
On a wild Chicago night, with a wind
howling white,
I caught my first sign of Resurrection Mary, RM, RM, RM.
I was trembling
like a leaf, I was scared beyond belief,
after all my conscience is not clear.
I used to
work with Mickey Finn, I did the numbers for Big Jim
Perhaps my day of reckoning was
here?
I said "Please, please, I'd love to dignify your wish.
But when it comes to
Heaven, I'm just a little bit amateurish."
On a wild Chicago night, with a wind howling
white
I cheated time with Resurrection Mary, RM, RM, RM.
Yeah the tears were forming in
my eyes,
for the first time, I felt something deep inside,
and for the first time I saw
angels high in the air,
for the first time in my life.
I said "Mary, go to the light, it's
gonna be alright."
I got down on my knees and I said "Sweet Mary, please,
justify the
wishes before you run.
Will you tell him I've reformed, will you tell him I'm reborn?"
She
closed her eyes and then she spoke in tongues
I said "Please, please, will you tell me what
he said?"
She said "You must die
the day before the devil knows you're dead."
On a
wild Chicago night, with a wind howling white
well |
