Some days you waste your life away- These times I find no words to say- A crime I once committed filled me- Too much of heaven's eyes I saw through- Only when meanings have no reason- They're taken beyond your sense of right- Small boy kneels, wandering in a great hall- He pays pennance to the air above him- White circles, black lines surround me- Reborn, so plain my eyes see- This is the reason that I came here- To be so near to such a person- I'm so tired, I'm so tired....................................................... ............................................................ ......Put me in a hole in the ground- With the money and the towel- And the women all running' around-Can't complain about the mess- Momma killed the only dress- Now she's longing' for the pines-Watch my troubles all unwind- Drinking' gasoline and wine- Catch a chill off the stove-On the train they cannot feel- Lost my head beneath the wheel- Now she steals my body home-The trees are fake, the air is dead- The birds are stuffed with poison lead- And the ground is much too clean-And if it's only me who's scared- Strap 'em to the electric chairs- Ring the moon like a broken bell-When she drags you from the hill- Daddy's gonna burn down the still- We can watch it from the rooftop- Lay in to the frying' pan- Now she kisses her own hand- With the fiddle on the fire-I took a leap into the fog- Sleeping' on a hollow log- Now I'm coughing' with no mouth-You can keep yourself inside- But you know you cannot lie- When the devil's your only friend
