The devil's brand is on my bones
An' from inside the holy ghost groans
Sure as shooting the undertaker knows
He lays the headstones in endless rows
You're one an' all we croak like a raven
It's the dead an' the dying we're craving
You're one an' all
Follow the man tall
Hear his voice
An' drop to a dead crawl, yeah
Hey boy
Look straight at the sun
To the center you make a dead run
You're gonna have to cut off both my hands
I got pride as big as dixie land
I wanna sit where the velvet is red
Yes an' where can I lay this apple core?
I wanna drink of the blood that was shed girl
I can't breathe anymore
Yeah that's right
She's waltzing out the door
To dandy lions waiting
Yeah that's right she wants more
She's my lady in waiting
