Getaway 02:10
Holler for daddy the baby cryin’ Mama’s milk no good She been lightin’ up her spoon on the fire all day Heatin’ up that getaway Holler for daddy the baby cryin’ Mama’s milk no good She been lightin’ up her spoon on the fire all day Givin’ up that china way Well she said she said I dunno Time moves fast but life moves slow Lord I ain’t forsaken take the babies and go Gotta sell my body just to ‘ford my soul Woke from sleepin’ Outta place Ain’t no clothes in her suitcase The bread got rotten and the beater’s in the eggs Mama’s gone and there ain’t no trace Well she said she said I dunno Time moves fast but life moves slow Lord I ain’t forsaken take the babies and go Gotta sell my body just to ‘ford my soul YA GOTTA BELIEVE ME! Soot and stains Celestial shore Where she run to Where she go Maybe she high or maybe she low The devil and the demons say only she know Holler for daddy the baby cryin’ mama’s milk no good Silver cookin we all starvin’ Tried the best she could…

Steel Rail 04:15
Sweat on the steel rail And dirt in my eyes Ain’t no money in my pockets But my mouth is…full a lies I reek of someone else’s blood, that Old familiar smell Pick axe in my hand was made To sound your Funeral bell But you won’t See me comin’ (x6) I got the mouth of your savior and the mind of an evil man Should any man provoke me His soul is mine to take Put his body in the ground and feel the lon-ley heavens shake I’ll shed no tears for him But I will heave a final si---iigh E (hammer on riff) Too bad he ran his mouth down here Too bad I passed him by But he ain’t See me comin’ (x6) I got the mouth of your savior and the mind of an evil man And when they find my body I’ll be right back in your town No your soldered cuffs and your rusty chains can’t keep a…devil down You’ll smoke me in your cigarettes and you’ll Feel me in your skin No, all your prayers and fine refrains can’t fix this… Crooked grin And you won’t… See me comin’ (x6) I got the mouth of your savior and the mind of an evil man

One a these days I’m gonna leave it far away Little demon sittin’ rich down in the back seat When I’m no longer yours You’ll be sleepin’ on some floor Takin’ hits and wonderin’ why ya couldn’t take me There is a heavy part of my body No matter how many I roll… I been stubbo-ren I been sufferin’ Sick n’ stoned again and wont’ you let me go? Talkin’ to the lies in my head… I’m a victim of goin slow Blackness stains the bed… Skin on white linen’s for fortunate souls… Hey yeaaaaah! There is a heavy part of my body No matter how many I roll I been simmerin’ In oblivion Sick n’ stoned again and won’t you let me go? And baby will ya miss me? Baby will ya miss me? How did it taste when ya swallowed me whole? Ahh ahhh ahh Ahhhha ahhh ahh Blackness stains the bed Ahhh ahhh ahhh Ahh ahh ahhh I let you posesss Sick n’ stoned again Sick n’ stoned again Sick n’ stoned again And baby will you miss me Baby will you miss me How did it taste when you swallowed me whole? Won’t you let me… Go…

In my cage there is a bird that whistles In my cage there is a bird that sings In my cage there is a pile of muscle Wearin’ them brass knuckle rings And I been diggin’ I been diggin’ down into the floor Dig a little more each day… Well sooner or later I’ll be 6 feet below And I won’t have to dig my way… And the lord will have to keep waitin’ on me He’ll have to keep waitin on me The lord will have to keep waitin on me Lord I’m already burnin’ You can’t save me on the judgement day Lord I’m already burnin’ You can’t save me on the judgement day Well there’s a grave in the yard that’s empty There’s a grave right beside that’s full Well its full of her, that life I blew out At her other man’s open back door And I been diggin’ I been diggin’ down into the floor Dig a little more each day… Well sooner or later I’ll dig straight to hell And I won’t have to find my way…

The Wicked 03:18
Down in this valley there is fire all around me Down in this valley there is fire on the lake There ain’t no loomin' shadow in my lonesome valley Just put me in the smoke and I will rise to heaven then Down in this valley there are devils all around me Devils all around me Cloven footed thieves I will shut my eyes I will shut my eyes Put me in the smoke and I will rise to heaven then In this prison, I will weep Burn and gnash my teeth When the wicked come I’ll be alone But not for long She will scatter me when the wicked come I will shut my eyes I will shut my eyes I will shut my eyes Cloven footed thieves I will shut my eyes I will shut my eyes Put me in the smoke and I will rise to heaven then I commit my body to the cleansing flame To ashes I dissolve and leave behind my name Up I rise within the suffocating smoke The livin' stand and watch and all begin to choke I will shut my eyes until the deed is done I will fear no evil when the wicked come I commit my body x 8 Find me in the smoke and we will rise to heaven then.

Ahh ahh ahh And I write my little letters alone They beckon the right ones Ahh ahh ahh And I trust my mirrors better at home Wearing the iron Ahh ahh ahh And I offer to the forsaken sons Silver platter of powder Ahh ahh ahh Deep in the dark place they know As above so below! Storm the gates! Demand and devour Storm the gates! Demand and devour Storm the gates! Demand and devour It shall be seen and not heard… Turn around 3 times Turn around 3 times Turn around 3 times Backwards and forwards… Storm the gates! Demand and devour Storm the gates! Demand and devour Storm the gates! Demand and devour It shall be seen and not heard…

Believer 03:45
Bankin’ bloody money For sanity back home Mama’s medication For the cancer in her bones He’s gonna bear the burden He’s gonna play the game He’s gonna sweat in the badlands Till the anchorman says his name Blessings from the padre Keepin’ his blood wet Faith hope and charity Buttoned in his breast Well he ain’t much for prophets And he ain’t much for saints But now he’s believin’ with both hands That someday he’ll be saved When the bullets came down When the bullets came down When the bullets came down he became a believer When the shots rang out When the shots rang out When the bodies fell down he became a believer They’ll bring home his body But his mind will still remain Bloodied bruised and battered On a searing desert plain He’s gonna live his life out Sick with guilt and pain And if there’s a God well does he care to soothe The mind of the insane? Well he’s shot down Yeah where’d he go? Welll he’s shot down Where’d he go? Where’d he go? Woah oooooh Where’s your savior now? Woah oooooh Lord where are you now? Woah oooooh Where’s your savior now? Woah oooooh Lord where are you now? He became a believer He became a believer He became a believer He became…

Move Along 05:22
Well honey sometimes I worry That this life is too far gone When temptation Eludes me And I feel I can't get strong Well all I learned All I learned Is every man, they're all the same Just different clothing And different tactics A different promise yeah a different name I had a fight in me baby Now I barely got a flame Won't ya prove me wrong honey And don't be that man Don't let me go home alone You know I can't make it on my own Woah Be a lovin’ man Pick me up and let's move along So when you find me On the street Broken heeled and helpless at your feet Eaten up by every man I meet Pick me up and let's move along When I'm outta my mind On the kitchen floor So drunk honey that I can't see the good In anybody no more Honey don't walk on by… Pick me up and let's move along Baby Baby Woah Won't ya just pick me up And let's move along Baby won't ya come and take me Come on, come on Oh won't you pick me up Come on light me up And let's move a-long
