Lyrics

The Flesh is Weak
I do my laundry Friday afternoons
Sometimes Janey’s there,
me and her are cool.
She’s loves dogs and kids,
volunteers at the homeless hall
yeah, Janey’s heart is big
but her underwear sure is small

so meet me on the mercy seat
the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
the cycle is stuck on repeat
the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

The wash spins round and round
and the dryer dries
her dotwork tattoo
sits pretty on her thigh
I ask her how her parents have been
she’s says it’s kind of me to pay that notice
Lord, you know that I care
but it really ain’t my focus

So meet me on the mercy seat
the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
the cycle is stuck on repeat
the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

Lord, I know it’s Your cosmic joke
You made me this way
and that’s the way it goes
I bet you smile and give the angles a wink
when you look down to take a peak
‘cause the spirit is willing..
but the flesh is weak

So when it’s all said and done
the spirit may be willing
but I like my fun
and I know it’s not news to you
it ain’t particularly profound
but that’s the way it’s been
since we been walking around

so meet me on the mercy seat
the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
the cycle is stuck on repeat
the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
