Man in the sickening daze
Heaven holds lone star promise El Dorado
Bring me the head of the preacher man
You're mine, you're mine, all mine
Bring me the head of the preacher
Eating the worm as the vapor drops and dances
And pick his bones until they're clean
Bring me the head of the preacher man
To drain the last of liquid sleep
The book of sorrows, the American dreams
The moonshine boys, the vultures drool
The insane theater, once more we rise
They pluck the gold dust from his eyes
O, the rotting sun washes down
On the blazing trail
And everything stops and dances
Following the signs in your mind
The gift of chance
