Lyrics

Stand behind his drunken amp
Stand behind his light of love
Hear him yowl his bloody tounge
Hear him yell for blood and war
Do you believe in his sweet sensation
Do you believe in second chance
Do you believe in rapture babe

A terrible hit strikes today
A terrible hit for the parade
Burnin' eyes seek Jesus comin
Jesus comes to pave the way
Do you believe in his sweet sensation
Do you believe in second chance
Do you believe in rapture babe

Can you tell me what to feel
Open up yr tender soul
Can I drink yr drunken mercy
Wine burns the devils hole
Do you believe in his sweet sensation
Do you believe in second chance
Do you believe in rapture babe
