|
I caught a glimpse of your body by the river |
|
I was alone and the sky went forever |
|
I was the one that killed your father in the first world war |
|
I once vowed to love your sister for a lifetime |
|
Took her to the altar and left her like a wind chime |
|
That was the dawning of the age of the cannibal world |
|
Lord have mercy on my soul, have mercy Lord |
|
Mama, have mercy on my soul |
|
I took your wild peacocks down to the sawmill |
|
And ground their bones into dust and blood meal |
|
A rainbow of feathers and shame fell upon my wicked hand |
|
Lucy, my love, get inside my Grand Torino |
|
I tell you little girl don't go into the jungle |
|
There's a million hungry insects there |
|
And man, they're going to eat you alive, yes, they will |
|
Lord have mercy on my soul, have mercy Lord |
|
Mama, have mercy on my soul |
|
Cold dead moon don't stare at me |
|
With your bony judgmental eye |
|
Only the peacocks and earthly things |
|
Can judge me as they pass by |
|
Can judge me as they pass through this world |
|
Judge me as they pass by |
|
Lord, he has my number under the thunder in his hand |
