Steal My Body Home

Sleepin' on a hollow log
On the train they cannot feel
Can't complain about the mess

And the women, all runnin' around
The birds are stuffed with poison lead
And if it's only me who's scared
You can keep yourself inside
Watch my troubles all unwind
Daddy's gonna burn down the still
Now she's longin' for the pines

Momma killed the only dress
Drinkin' gasoline and wine

And the ground is much too clean

With the fiddle on the fire
When she drags you from the hill
The trees are fake, the air is dead
Now she kisses her own hand

We can watch it from the rooftop

Lost my head beneath the wheel
Now I'm coughin' with no mouth

I took a leap into the fog
Now she steals my body home
Catch a chill off the stove
Lay into the fryin' pan
Strap 'em to electric chairs

Ring the moon like a broken bell

But you know you cannot lie
