lyrics

I can’t walk the street again
I don’t respect it
Whispering on the porticos
Diabolic Spaniards sit and protect it
Widow in the wheelchair knows

She’ll sing you her songs
Of Las Vegases
Saigons
Always one more for Rome
Everybody thinks that she was famous
And she stinks of money
Her credit good
The cross of wood and wire
The soul is made of blood

I can’t play this scene again I won’t remember it
Got nobody to wash my clothes
And everytime I sing this line I sound effeminate
Baby in the beerhall knows

We sashay and sway red carpets this way
So as to catch hall mirrors all alone
The bartleby knife we bargained from a Folsom lifer
Darlin
His credit good
The cross of wood and wire
The soul is made of blood

I can’t walk the line again
Or re-invent it
Knuckleduster wind she blows
Said I’d bury you in Leeds
And I meant it
Jesus in his Humvee knows

A cry in the night
Sounds helpless alright
Yes you’re a long long way from home
Migrants on their shifting borders
Prison guards that follow orders
Their credit good
The cross of wood and wire
The soul is made of blood
