Grave Digger
04:36
|
|||
|
Over willow mountain
And the river
Lies his home
Yellow fields of flowers
Grow in winter
Die when warm
Don't go
Past the willow
On Virginia
Mountain roads
Past the
Fields of flowers
In two hours
You'll find his home
Living
Among the tombstones
You'll find the digger
All alone
Listen
To his singing
And the ringing
Of the devil's toll
Don't go
Past the willow
On Virginia
Mountain roads
Over willow mountain
And the river
Lies his home
Yellow fields of flowers
Grow in winter
Die when warm
Go now
To see the digger
Ask him for me
When his flowers grow

Town of Misery
05:12
|
|||
|
It's hard to see at night time
Driving down the road
I haven't seen a stop sign
Can't be long to go
I see a sign
Town of misery
Popping pills in the alleyways
Another day in misery
Crows and drifters can dine
The streets are full of bones
They call this street the washline
Cause they hang them like clothes
Pay the sheriff one dime
He'll show you where to go
It's such a time
Town of misery
(At night)
You can't afford to miss it
(All right)
Careful not to go missing
(Street fight)
Wind up with some metal
Through the heart, what a way to start
You've got to pick the right time
Sometimes the town is cold
If you wanna make it alive
Then don't come where death is sold
I love the town of misery
Another day in misery

Holding on to Something
01:45
|
|||
|
She's holding
On to something
She's holding
Onto another
Love lasts
With the winter
So hold me
I'll forgive her
So long spent without her
I hope I'll feel like this again

Mother Mary
04:06
|

|
Mother wears her wedding ring
Doesn't tell me anything
She keeps a lock on the door
I want my mother from before
Walks around the house at night
Keeps from turning on the light
She's got a dog on a chain
Pumping lies into his brain
Mother Mary
Pray sweet Jesus in your name
Mother reads a lot of books
Listens to the radio
She's like a fish on a hook
Where she gets it, I don't know
She siccs the dog on me
He doesn't bite me 'til she looks
Mother Mary
Pray sweet Jesus in your name
Mother wears her wedding ring
Doesn't tell the dog a thing
Keeps it locked behind a door
He wants my mother from before

Hollywood Passing Away
03:25
|

Hollywood passing away
And now you need it
Stronger than ever before
Dead is the love of the day
And now you need it
Loving has gone out the door
Now you need it
Power will lead you astray
And now you need it
Stronger than ever before
Praying for God to obey
And now you need it
To pass the heavenly door

Tomorrow
05:11
|
|||
|
And tomorrow we'll talk about ourselves
And recall the things we've done
The lessons that were taught to us
How from problems, we would run
Less cruelty in another world
Someday we will see
Living all alone
Washing out to sea
Life from long ago
Is lost to me
And tomorrow we'll forget ourselves
When life comes around
It's too easy to forget ourselves
When life beats you down

West Destroyer

The West destroyer
The Eastern voyeur
Sammy sends the men
Away from their home
You can't annoy her
She's the destroyer
Anything you do is just
Risking your home
Just like a lawyer
Is that destroyer
It likes to trap you
Make you all alone
Bring the guns
Find the funds
Send the men
All away
Looking for fun
The men with the guns
Twenty years old
What do they know
The West destroyer
The Eastern voyeur
Sammy sends the men
Away from their home
You can't annoy her
She's the destroyer
Anything you do is just
Risking your home

I Left My Skeleton
02:15
|
|||
|
I left my skeleton in that house yesterday
It talks to the spirits never gone away
And in that house where I used to play
That once was my home
It comes out in the night time when the living have gone away
With the spirits to roam
And recalls all the memories of ancient antiquity
It talks to the spirits never gone away
I left my skeleton in that house yesterday
That once was my home
It's haunted by devils that look for a place to stay
Devils alone
My skeleton never leaves, now that I've gone away
It's all alone
It wouldn't come with me, what else do I have to say
I left my skeleton in that house yesterday
