Gloria: In Excelsis Deo (Remaster) - Patti Smith

Jesus died for somebody's sins

But not mine

Meltin' in a pot of thieves

Wild card up my sleeve

Thick heart of stone

My sins my own

They belong to me' me

People say "beware "

But I don't care

The words are just

Rules and regulations to me' me

I-I walk in a room'

You know I look so proud

I'm movin' in this here atmosphere'

Well' anything's allowed

And I go to this here party

And I just get bored

Until I look out the window'

See a sweet young thing

Humpin' on the parking meter'

Leanin' on the parking meter

Oh' she looks so good'

Oh' she looks so fine

And I got this crazy feeling

And then I'm gonna

Ah-ah make her mine

Ooh I'll put my spell on her

Here she comes

Walkin' down the street

Here she comes

Coming trough my door

Here she comes

Crawlin' up my stair

Here she comes

Waltzin' through the hall

In a pretty red dress

And oh' she looks so good'

Oh' she looks so fine

And I got this crazy feeling

That I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine

And then I hear

This knockin' on my door

Hear this knockin' on my door

And I look up

Into the big tower clock

And say'

"oh my God here's midnight "

And my baby is walkin'

Through the door

Leanin' on my couch

She whispers to me

And I take the big plunge

And oh' she was so good

And oh' she was so fine

And I'm gonna tell the world

That I just ah-ah made her mine

And I said darling'

Tell me your name'

She told me her name

She whispered to me'

She told me her name

And her name is'

And her name

Is' and her name is'

And her name is G L O R I A

G L O R I A Gloria G L O R I A Gloria

G L O R I A Gloria G L O R I A Gloria

I was at the stadium

There were twenty thousand girls

Called their names out to me

Marie and Ruth

But to tell you the truth

I didn't hear them I didn't see

I let my eyes rise

To the big tower clock

And I heard those bells

Chimin' in my heart

Going ding dong ding dong

Ding dong ding dong

Ding dong ding dong

Ding dong ding dong

Counting the time'

Then you came to my room

And you whispered to me

And we took the big plunge

And oh you were so good'

Oh' you were so fine

And I gotta tell the world

That I make her mine make her mine

Make her mine make her mine

Make her mine make her mine

G L O R I A Gloria

G L O R I A Gloria

G L O R I A Gloria'

G L O R I A Gloria

And the tower bells chime'

"ding dong" they chime

They're singing'

"Jesus died for somebody's sins

But not mine "
