Reverend

  • On the limb cut down in the middle of the night caught in a trap
    Cursed by the crown of the wandering man who was never coming back
    Stuck on the line spinning all of his time with his back to the throne
    With the flash of the round everybody in town said leave me alone

    Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
    Your heart will never say so
    Your heart will never let you go
    Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
    My heart will never say so
    My heart will never let you go

    I got caught in the middle of a hurricane fight facing the ground
    Beast to the wild with the porcelain smile as it passes around
    The truth in the skies from the billowing eyes isn't working on me
    Don't you think you gotta give me
    Give me something I want
    Give me something I need

    Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
    Your heart will never say so
    Your heart will never let you go
    Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
    My heart will never say so
    My heart will never let you go

    Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
    Your heart will never say so
    Your heart will never let you go
    Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
    My heart will never say so
    My heart will never let you go

    Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
    My heart will never say so
    My heart will never let you go Writer/s: Caleb Followill, Ivan Nathan Followill, Jared Followill, Matthew Followill
