| «Well, I’ll take two shots,» said the Devil to the man
|
| And laid a little book on the bar
|
| Well Lord knows the Devil, and he only talks shit
|
| And only drinks whiskey from the jar
|
| And his hands were raw and his eyes were cold
|
| And his breath was pure alcohol
|
| And the sound of his voice, it never got old
|
| And he talked and talked and talked through the night
|
| Kept sipping his 'shine 'til the morning light
|
| Tumbled in through the shades and as he started to go
|
| I put three bullets in his back
|
| Well the Devil’s bleeding crude oil from a hole in his chest
|
| And its panging on the bedpan, dripping through the bed sheets
|
| And all the businessmen are putting pails beneath his wounds
|
| And pawning the oil at the market
|
| Well his heart ain’t made of nothing but piss and vinegar
|
| And his boots have trampled more than you would know
|
| And his breath has split open the thermometer on the sill
|
| It’s so fucking cold in here since you brought in the snow
|
| Black heart leaking oil in the pan
|
| Dealing insults with his free hand
|
| In this hospital bed bleeding
|
| Black heart, you shot the plan to hell
|
| And the apathy ate you up inside
|
| Black heart leaking oil in the pan
|
| Dealing insults with his free hand
|
| In this hospital bed bleeding
|
| Black heart, you shot the plan to hell
|
| And the apathy ate you up inside
|
| Like slivers of lead inside your food
|
| He’s the poison inside you
|
| And you eat until you’re full
|
| And you eat until you’re full
|
| He lit the fires inside your belly
|
| Full of medicine and whiskey
|
| The aspirin, Valium, codeine pills, and silver rum
|
| Someone say a Hail Mary for this house
|
| Bless the corners and burn the devil out
|
| Someone say a Hail Mary for this house
