We've all heard the anxious wive's tales Sewn by withered widows Of cloven hooves and distention And children on their tippy toes As one slows to reconsider The folly of an unthinking youth The convenience of simple doubt And the scourge of the blackened truth It had the eyes of my mother But empty and void of love And the dominion of my father I would do as I was told It had always been here In the beatings and the bottle But now it's at the foot of my bed And the smell is fucking awful Him: From the pigs to your family we pay no mind Me: And I can't seem to wake my wife Him: Your father's father welcomed me through vice Me: And I can't seem to wake my wife I can't seem to (x 6) Wake my wife (x 4) I can't seem to (x 4) Wake my wife (x 4) Chorus

(Mama always had dinner on the table by 5:30...) Your daddy could never quite walk right A bad right knee when it rained at night A bum neck that wouldn't look left Too proud and stupid to get some rest A dour old man gleans fruits of labor And left them out on the kitchen table That was then and you took your bow Like a kid on a bike you still know how (Bridge) I know you got it in you The little train that could I know you got it in you You know you really should So tighten up your belt And put your Sunday best on You're coming home tonight And you can bet I'll leave the lights on (Chorus) Just Like Fay Wray It's always been me and you Just Like Fay Wray There's nothing left for us to do Just like Fay Wray They'll never try and understand Just like Fay Wray That you're my girl and I'm your man An old hand I'll decorate for the party You know Sweetheart - I'll be there With tears streaming down my cheeks And ribbons flowing in my hair It wasn't so long ago You left me for your aged old man But not even God himself Can make you come like I can (Chorus)

Monday or Tuesday night this week I had me a fever, it was running high So I put myself in a tub of ice water And broke it Wednesday night Now I'm feeling ornery as a stiff dick And I got no place to go So I set out to find me a honey Who wouldn't say no I starched my collar put on my best shirt Ran a comb through my hair Hoped God would understand And I said a silly little prayer And there she was at the end of the bar With the weight of the world on her head So I bought a shot and walked on over And this is what I said... I'll put on some Tammy Wynette maybe you and I can dance? I'm just a lonely man looking for a bit of romance If I aint your type I'll gladly turn and walk away But here's a shot for the prettiest girl I seen today Like a statue she didn't move I couldn't help but wonder if she heard Could it be she was hard of hearing And she didn't hear a word? So I turned on my heels Left the shot - rejected and meek Then she lifted up her pretty head And she began to speak... I've been feeling pretty bad you know? Just a couple days before And now the Devil himself is standing Right at my front door I aint saying I won't let you in And you and I can't have a time Here's hoping a fool like you can read between the lines I won't pay it no mind I aint too proud and you're too kind It won't be the first time at all I've played in the Devil's Waterfall I've danced in the rain before And I sure aint afraid to get wet no more It won't be the first time at all I've played in the Devil's Waterfall

Fade in - 1983 Calcata - just north of Rome A man with a heavy heart knocks on the door of the Jesuit's home The demons, they got me father By the heart and by the balls I gotta get right with God Before the curtain of death falls. Come on in son, make yourself at home Would you like some coffee or tea? Perhaps a cigarette? Before we get into the meat of things I've led a nefarious life Women and whiskey and wickedness You'll be fine son. Praise the Lord You repent - the good Lord forgives. (Chorus) I got one thing on my mind I won't suffer this passive fool I'll pray for an angry God To slaughter the sheep in Sunday School Bring forth the Apocalypse The few and the saved will take to the sky Science is my catalyst And Brother I'm here to testify

Five fingers to satisfaction That's the way to void the transaction Don't you know I got a disease? Sailing seas with wine and cheese I wear layers in the heat of the summertime Making yours mine at the drop of a dime Nah, motherfucker - I aint got a receipt I just got the shit here last week (Bridge) I steal from the rich I steal from the poor Til there's none to steal no more (Chorus) Put your handle on the bible son And tell the Good Lord what you've done Well I curse the fool who says less is more I applaud - It's what God made pockets for (x 2) Well it aint about money, fool Cause a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do A bond before God and all that hoo-ha My little death is your tragic flaw Well you light a match to your home's foundation Burn away the holy consecration Maybe next time she wants to get down Give me a call - I'm always around (Bridge) (Chorus) Well I'll steal your T.V. set And I'll steal your cigarettes I'll steal Robert Johnson's cursed soul Back from the Devil's cold firey hold I'll steal your credit card Play Pancho and Lefty at the local bar The jukebox says it'll play three more So I play Townes Van Zandt til they close the door Well I'll steal her innocence With cheap red wine and diligence One of a kind-no more to be had Dad don't know and mama's sad I'll steal your piggy bank Empty it like a gasoline tank I stole everything I saw Well I applaud It's what God made pockets for

She should have been here weeks ago And now my back is feeling dull and sore The last thing that this family needs Is another goddamned mouth to feed I said... Bring the whiskey, midwife and the pain The blood and the hurt flows all the same I pray the little fucker will grow some wings And fly to where the fallen angels sing

Momma's gone bedfast - the cancer grows sick and thick Daddy's grown disquieted - worried about the neighbor's dick And the fat cat starts to purr... (Abbreviated Chorus) Line them up one by one And shoot them with their own damned gun We'll take their milk money and rub their fat tummy And we'll save them all one by one Momma's gone a bit simple from the bottleneck in her brain And Daddy, all he wants is a mouth full more of the same Open your mouth and close your eyes... ***Would you be so kind As to save the date As we indoctrinate At 20 grand a plate*** (Chorus) Line them up - one by one And shoot them with their own damned gun We'll take their milk money and rub their fat tummy And we'll jack 'em off one by one They'll be no uprising - We'll leave them all smiling And kiss their filthy babies one by one With fence and razor wire - We'll preach to the choir And we'll save them all one by one

In the dawn of my eighty-third year it came my time to go I stumbled off the stage with no applause and no encore T.V. and crossword puzzles are all that she knows Then she heard that swindling bastard on the radio (Bridge) Don't you dare spend a dime 'Cause I got a direct line (Chorus) I'm tapping on your left shoulder I'm tapping on your left shoulder I knocked your coffee cup over I'm tapping on your left shoulder Well it breaks this old man's heart that I didn't get to say goodbye But there's an empty stool at the bar next to me in the next life (Bridge) (Chorus) (Bridge)

Hosanna 05:07
We'll start with your pinky finger Or perhaps your stubborn thumb And the table saw blade will be set on high I will carbonize your wounds As I find it opportune That you don't and won't Bleed out too soon It is not my duty before God and country To say Hosanna My heart is leadened and sad For the task that is now at hand And the table saw blade will be set on high After I strike the blow It is then that I will go Take my leave And will you to cry It is not my duty before God and country To say Hosanna Hosanna (x 2) Your mind has slown to a crawl But I have the wherewithal And the table saw blade will be set on high With fees and electricity I'll steal you back from eternity If I find you are worthy of the prize. It is not my duty before God and country To say Hosanna I will not always be the one To take great pleasures in what must be done And the table saw will be set on high

One part rye meal And one part piss Pull ashes from the fire Send the bitch back to the Abyss We'll feed it to the dog That boy will eat anything And when he has a fit That is when we begin It was the fat one Her familiar made it clear Bless Cotton Mather There is no minion that I will fear I found the third one Hidden under hair and stink Stoke the fire boy And woe to the heretic Woe to the Heretic (x 2) We'll burn her tits to toe Smell the flesh-the black swollen heart aglow The witch and her kind we'll suffer no more The wonders of the invisible world All hail the mighty blue pig Never fat enough for your pious spit She'll graze on to sink another ship And we pray your god will drown on it
