Little girl near a burning bush
Momma's sore to death from washing clothes
"Long time since Daddy caught the ghost,"
they say, "and flew away"
"One step to the left," he said, "the devil comes
and sweeps you off your feet"
So the girls lied down with stones before they'd
sleep it all away
Little boy did you find a thorn
Do they come to you in dreams and tell you why
that you don't get any help from the other side
Do they see the secret lying behind your eyes
Where you gonna' hide now
Open your hymnals to page 53
I feel like someone's life tonight is in need
I had wasps on my shirt-sleeves
Crawling all over me
I saw a picture of her once
She was holding a baby
"One step to the left", he said, "the devil comes
and sweeps you off your feet"
But my feet are crooked and I'm getting weak
So I walk on the down road without ever knowing
what's around the bend
River, take me
River, hide me
Please
"The funny thing about it"
Pigeons trembling as she spoke
"The man that I am dreaming of
wears a stain for a cross"
Let it fall behind me
Let it fall behind me
This is all ( backslide, right back, slide back in his arms)
This is all
Electric
This is all ( slide back, right back, slide back in his arms)
This is all
Electric
This is all
This is all ( Electric)
A bad dream
Sin has always been my downfall

Daddy Was A Pistol

My daddy was a pistol
And I am a son of a gun
Cops drive through mountains to get me
And if you see me walking
You'll know where to run, where to run
There's safety hope you can find it
And if I wander too far from home
My momma she tried to raise me
Too many Gods to pray to
My faith goes as far as the sky
There's safety hope you can find it
And if you see me walkin'
You'll know where to run, where to run
Cops drive through mountains to get me
Beneath a Southern Sky
It feels like Hell tonight
Beneath a Southern Sky
It feels like Hell tonight
Beneath a Southern Sky
It feels like Hell tonight
Beneath a Southern Sky
I feel like Hell tonight
So come on
You will find what you know you know you want
A man one asked "how do you kill?"
I said "I befriend the dead space
between the words that separate
a man from his grave"
I don't need a sweet deal
Just give me a cheap feel
I'm only a mile away
And out of the new will
There now comes a new law
It's called I do whatever I want
Because my daddy was a pistol
And I am a son of a gun
Cops drive through mountains to get me
And if you see me walking
You'll know where to run, where to run
There's safety hope you can find it
Run Little Souls ( I know a way, a way out of this world)
Run Little Souls ( I know a doorway that'll lead you straight to the South)
Run Little Souls ( I know a way, a way out of this world)
Run Little Souls ( I know some reasons for you to shut your foolish mouth)
And if I wander too far from home
My momma she tried to raise me

Dreamphone

From the back of a car
Going where you are
Exhausted
I make an offering
'Cause it's been a long, long night
For us all
How do we let it all go
Before we fall
Daylight, please
Inoculate me from
Sadness, fear and anger
Pull a card then go
The Fool is in limbo
King and Queen of Cloud
Pick up your Dreamphone
And daylight, please
Inoculate me from
Sadness, fear and anger
Daylight, please
Inoculate me from
Sadness, fear and
Inoculate me from...
Look out here I come
From the back of a car
From the back of car
From the back of a cloud
From the back of a cloud
