Gone To Jericho with lyrics by The Peculiar Pretzelmen

Note: These are by no means the official lyrics. They are my best guess that I've uploaded because I was unable to find any lyrics online. I'm willing to review corrections and edit the video if necessary. Edit - Thanks to Werrion for some lyrics corrections, I have plans to update the video to match.

Lyrics:
He's there in the dark
Back of the room
Sipping on whiskey
And licking his wound

The laundry's out
The gang's all here
It burns just a little
When the ballroom cheers

Well it's not his song
The story's all wrong
He's got a metronome heart
Ticking like a time bomb

A year and change
Fistful of pounds
He quietly cusses
That he can't stand the sound

Well he's gone
well he's gone
Well he's gone
Where the scars won't show
He's gone
Where the flowers won't grow
He's gone
Where the boat won't row
I said he's gone to Jericho
I said he's gone to Jericho
I said he's gone to Jericho

Good time tammy
Go and whisper downwind
I'll play forgetful
And you confess the sins

Sitting in the dark
Drinking overpriced wine
He ain't exactly paying
He don't exactly mind

The wine kept comin'
The sun's almost up
The silence pumps away
When the dog throw up

Some things are better
Kept close to the vest
Give what you will
And just bury the rest

She's gone
She's gone
She's gone
Where the scars won't show
She's gone
Where the flowers won't grow
She's gone
Where the boat won't row
I said she's gone to Jericho
I said she's gone to Jericho
I said she's gone to Jericho

I met him in St. Patrick's
Asleep in a pew
He left Cincinnati
Where the blew his cool

There's a cop down there
Can't walk anymore
If you ask little Eddie
He'll say he earned it in the war

And poor saint Linda
In a pub downtown
She was spilling cheap tequila
On a wedding gown

Somebody asked
How'd you end up like this?
She just raised up a glass
And blew us all a kiss

She's gone
She's gone
She's gone
Where the scars won't show
She's gone
Where the flowers won't grow
She's gone
Where the boat won't row
I said she's gone to Jericho
I said she's gone to Jericho
She's gone to Jericho

Well I paid for my breakfast
With pocket change
Saw dear Jesus
In this coffee stain

No you can't go home
When everything's changed
I held up my cup
And asked for more of the same

I got a ten dollar suit
A restroom shave
I gotta get moving
While I've some soul left to save

Gonna go somewhere
Where I'll carry no blame
I won't have no baggage
And I won't need no name

I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'm gone
Where the scars won't show
I'm gone
Where the flowers won't grow
I'm gone
Where the boat won't row
I said I'm gone to Jericho
I said I'm gone to Jericho
I said I'm gone to Jericho
I said I'm gone to Jericho
I said I'm gone to Jericho
I said I'm gone to Jericho

Well I'm gone to Jericho
