In the mad of bantam woods and black water
I scream like a motherfucker
And whisper like a girl
And shaking it stiff
I got some trouble
That will trouble the world
And the only witness I got to deal with
Are you and that milky pearl
And when you're gone
Though he will watch on
He's telling no one
In our church around the back they say
That Jesus watches over us all
Lambs and wolves alike, black and white
But that's not nearly true
Because there's nobody out here now
That I can see
But me and the moon
And I run the tell-tale mad off my shoes
Through the tall grass and running blues
And jumping that fence by the tracks
I'm leaving
And my trousers keep slipping down
And around my thighs
In the ghost light of the dark night
And as far away as I might get
That whited eye won't let me forget
The time in the bantam woods
Yeah, so I breath a little easier
When the moon is not so full
And conscience sleeps quiet
And keep it secret out there
About me and the moon
