We don't play by the book
that's what Michael said
It started off fine with words like love

Ended up on the floor

Jesus take me away

And I want to believe

Biding my time biting my tongue

isn't that how it's always done
But I was a prophet of coffins and blood
You were the hand of God


Jesus take me away
And I want to believe


Michael don't let me down again I can't take it
Michael don't let me down again I can't take it

A witness job is a precious job so don't fake it
A woman's job is a perfect job so don't fake it
Michael don't let me down again I can't take it


Jesus take me away
And I want to believe


We don't play by the book
that's what Michael said
