Wire, got a wire to my heart Fire, got a fire in my heart Baby's out howling at the UFOs One day they might beam her into space She's out there in the desert taking off her clothes Spinning 'til she's gone without a trace Come here little honey, I'd love to paint your eyes Just don't wake me for the rapture, 'cause you know I hate goodbyes With a million good excuses but none of them will matter Gonna climb Up the Jacob Ladder Whip, whip this aging mule Whip, whip this aging mule Baby she sees Jacob in the glass in Switzerland So she scaling up the ramparts to offer him a hand I'll throw you out some whiskey; you'll throw me down a line You'll pull me up this ladder, one rung at a time Jacob says hey baby, what about your brother Cain Cause he's angry and delusional with water on the brain Well they threw him from the garden, 'cause he's meaner than a hatter Long fall From the Jacob Ladder From the Jacob Ladder Bind, won't you bind my shaking hand Bind, bind my shaking hand Baby's out shooting up the holy land Running with the troubled sons of Abraham Lord knows I love her but I've got to let her run So I watch her from a distance 'til she's got her killing done Come here little darling, it's time to show the sword Cause out here in the desert you can hear the lions roar And now that you and Jacob, in your service of the Lord Throw down your golden idols watch them shatter Your lost tribes of Israel watch them scream and scatter Gonna climb Up the Jacob Ladder Come here little honey, I'd love to kiss your eyes You can wake me for the rapture, 'cause I'm not afraid to die They can crucify you baby but it really will not matter Cause we'll climb up the Jacob Ladder Up the Jacob Ladder Up the Jacob Ladder Up the Jacob Ladder
