[00:20.36] Cain got a milk eyed mule from the auction
[00:23.22]
[00:24.07] Abel got a telephone
[00:25.64]
[00:28.01] And even the last of the blue eyed babies know
[00:32.40]
[00:35.60] That the burning man is the color of the end of day
[00:40.31]
[00:42.92] And how every tongue that gets bit
[00:45.68] Always has another word to say
[00:47.91]
[00:56.11] Cain bought a blade from some witch at the window
[00:59.26]
[01:00.02] Abel bought a bag of weed
[01:01.97]
[01:03.75] And even the last of the brown eyed babies see
[01:08.21]
[01:11.31] That the cartoon king has a tattoo of
[01:15.09] A bleeding heart
[01:16.06]
[01:18.39] There ain't a penthouse christian
[01:20.20] That wants the pain of the scab
[01:22.63] But they all want the scar
[01:24.05]
[01:26.87] How every mouth sings of what
[01:29.44] It's without so we all sing of love
[01:31.81]
[01:34.30] And how it ain't one dog who's good at fucking
[01:37.71] And denying who he's thinking of
[01:39.67]
[01:52.10] Woo woo
[02:01.84]
[02:07.82] Cain heard a cat tumble limp off the rooftop
[02:11.29] Abel heard his papa pray
[02:13.62]
[02:15.54] And even the last of the black eyed babies say
[02:20.38]
[02:22.71] That every saint has a chair you can
[02:25.83] Borrow in a church to sell
[02:27.71]
[02:30.47] That the wind blows cold across the backs of a master
[02:34.44] And the kitchen help
[02:35.67]
[02:38.54] There's a big pile of innocent bones
[02:41.26] Still holding up the garden wall
[02:43.61]
[02:46.23] And it was always the broken hand
[02:48.71]
[02:49.24] We learned to lean on after all
[02:51.42]
[02:54.50] How god knows if christ came back
[02:57.26] He'd find us in a poker game
[02:59.52]
[03:02.43] After finding out the drinks were all free
[03:05.22] But they won't let you out the door again
[03:07.35]
[03:20.01] Woo woo
[03:31.62]
