[Intro]
x2
[Verse]
When you think I m doing nothing
And you feel up for a fight
It s me you should be trusting
Cause you know I ll get it right
[Verse]
Won t you listen to my story
How the Devil took my hand
And led me to a bench and vise
Where I made my stand
[Chorus]
I m doing the deed I like, finish it some day
Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away
I m doing the deed I like, finish it some day
Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away
[Instrumental]
x2
[Verse]
Well, I could have been a builder
With muscles for a heart
I m making straight lines for you
Or digging turf and sod
[Verse]
Just look at that musician
How soft his hands must be
There is no intuition
Perform it too like me
[Chorus]
I m doing the deed I like, finish it some day
Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away
I m doing the deed I like, finish it some day
Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away
[Verse]
Oh, the power and the glory
The pleasure and the pain
That Scandinavian s got it made
I m buying stuff for debt
[Verse]
When you think I m doing nothing
I m still up for a fight
It s me you should be trusting
Cause you know I ll get it right
[Verse]
Won t you listen to my story
How the Devil took my hand
And led me to a bench and vise
Where I made my stand
[Chorus]
I m doing the deed I like, finish it some day
Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away
Yes, I m doing the deed I like, finish it some day
Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away
[Outro]
