Blister Soul (Reprise)
Music & Lyrics by Bill Mallonee

baptize me in elijah creek
how could i continue
near the furnace at debtors forge
just east of west virginia
heard the strain as a small child
of the drum and bugle corps
oh my blister soul

we interrupt this program
this report just in
carnage continues unabated
according to recent bulletins
yeah we're live on the scene baby
so let those cameras roll
oh my blister soul

why did you spend so much
why did you give it all
poured out on cold little misers
and the returns are so small
yeah those strange economics
and the length that love goes
oh my blister soul

no doubt your honor
i stand condemned by law
wire photo of a grinning man
beside a bullet-riddled fuselage
i got this bolt-action heart
and a lot of ammo
oh my blister soul

well the patient looks healthy
and the citizen free
but there been lots of known cases
of mistaken identity
"and if the shoe fits"
the preacher extolled
oh my blister soul
