Preacher Man - Twitching Tongues

Momma, I’ve got something to ask you, have things been alright?

Dad’s been gone for a while, and the doors been locked up tight

Shouldn’t he be home any minute?

Wish I knew what was going on

I was such a young boy then, still I knew, something was wrong

Who is this preacher man, and why ain’t he preaching no more?

Why’s he sittin' in my father’s chair?

Why can’t I see my daddy no more?

Momma, you don’t have to tell me, we all got our secrets

Even then I had a feeling I wouldn’t know the truth for several years to come

Who is this preacher man, and why ain’t he preaching no more?

Why’s he sittin' in my father’s chair?

Why can’t I see my daddy no more?

Seemed simple enough.

Love divided.

Innocent eyes don’t fear change

If you’d have told me, then, the cause for departure, you’d see a different man

before you today

With thoughts of suicide and my mother on his mind, still I wonder what my

father would say:

«Priest.

No man of his word.

Minister of disbelief

A bastard, a liar, a hypocrite.

Manipulative motherfucker stole my life from me

Who is this preacher man?

Used to call him a friend of mine

Who does this coward think he is in my chair?

Why can’t I see my kids no more?

I know this preacher man, he ain’t no friend of mine

Now he’s gone and changed the life of my children

Dead preacher I hope to find.»

Who is this preacher man, and why ain’t he preaching no more?
