Emergency Exit

When darkness is falling round your bend
Work the dirt till the sun goes down
Scarecrow's shadow on the Nazarene

I paid my rent till the lights went dead
A Roosevelt dime and a bucket of rain
A little too late to wait for fate
And I saw my sign coming up the road
It's a little too much to ask of faith
Kindness will find you
Dead ditch waitin' for to bury my load
The landlord living inside my head

Oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Kindness will follow , children will wander
Never pawned my watch and chain
Fourteen miles away from a landfill grave
Now hold your hand up to the plow
So tell the angels what you've seen
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Let dust be dust and the good Lord near
On the avenues and the brink of day
What's left of death is more than fear
