(Linden/Powers)



Stand up and take it like a man

You’re spitting out teeth and sinking in the sand

Crawling on your knees through the promised land

Your barbed-wire baby’s got a different plan



When a band of gold is a ring of fire

The price of love gets higher and higher

Her heart’s gone bad like rusted tin

So much sorrow in this house of sin



Tear the front door down and paint it red

You’re bound and chained to an empty bed

You can’t ignore what the preacher said

No rest for the wicked until you’re dead



When a band of gold...



Jezabel lay in Jerusalem’s streets

Her dying kiss was bittersweet

From the painted mouth that swore deceit

The dogs took her hands and the soles of her feet



When a band of gold...
