lyrics

We used to go down to Aunt Peggie’s house
Played in the dirt by the single wide trailer
it up the church when the spirit fell
Speaking in tongues of angels

Marty’s on the drink again
We reach out towards him from the sanctuary
Some folks sing or shout
And the room gets loud until it all sounds scary

This coalescing of holiness & horror
Addiction, loss, & blessing
Painkillers & magic,
Methamphetamines & spiritual madness
I watch with the eyes of a child as it happens
through the lens of these memories of white trash revelry
Painkillers & magic

Peggy has a soft voice
Singing from the porch while I play with the boys
Though the fabric of memory,
She stands in front of me
Gentle and sad and rejoicing
Praise be the lord’s savage sorcery

This coalescing of holiness & horror,
Addiction, loss, & blessing
Painkillers and magic,
Methamphetamines and spiritual madness
I watch with the eyes of a child as it happens
Through the lens of these memories all our white trash revelry
Painkillers & magic

Hallelujah
When I ached in the darkness alone on my knees
Hallelujah
I would plead for God’s mercy to wash over me
Hallelujah
I was a child and I heard nothing,
But I hear Peggie sing, “hallelujah” ceaselessly
