Here Comes That Weird Chill

He wrote a name
With the needle gun
In black and blue
Your eyes are stone she said
Beautiful and dead
And I wish you well
I took a turn on this carousel
How long ago now, I never can tell
I never stopped to wonder
Maybe a morning, maybe, a thousand years
I only walk high wires
Attend a needing
The magnolia's dying
Long coarse and primitive
I wish love, lord
I wish love could live, forever
What I once saw burning bright as hell, now here comes that weird chill
I don't stop to wonder

Threaded a name
Through the needle's eye
As a frame
Tied the ends and stitched it up
And hung my head down and wept
But I wish you well
Who'll pray for the killer's sake
I used to be so wide awake
Like certain mornings
That last a thousand hours
Long coarse and primitive
I wish love, lord
I wish love could live forever
I'm burning bright at hell, here comes that weird chill
But I wish you well
Your eyes are stone she said, truly beautiful and dead
I wish you well
I want to ride on this carousel
But, I never really stopped to wonder

Oh, It's good
Baby, to make me forget
Oh, so good
Baby, so good to make me forget
Forget myself again
I walk down, the steps to the river
With my outfit, full set to deliver
And the minute it's done
There's nothin' but time
On a pay telephone, I send a message to mine
Yeah, it's good
So good baby
Because it makes me forget
Oh, so good
So good baby
Because it makes me forget
Forget myself again
Upstairs, slower on my feet
Got to get to the corner and I know it's getting late
At the cold polar ice
End of the line
If I don't wake up
Send a message to mine
Oh it's good
So good baby
Because it makes me forget, forget myself again
Seventeen steps down to the river
With my outfit, full set to deliver
And the floodlights shine
Blindin' my eye
On the pay telephone, I send a message to mine
Back down, early in the morning
Same building, different story
Well the room here's free and it's easy to find
The tricks of her frame send a message to mine
Yeah it's good.....

Had to run so far to find a clear spot
Sun's all hottin' in the rotten hot
Swamp's all rotten and stinkin', buh
Vegetation's hot
Sleepin' in the bayou in an old rotten cot

Can't find my kind of folks havin' fun
Have to run, run, run, run
Run to find a clear spot

Cave shattered down on the sun baked ground
Mosquitoes 'n moccasins, steppin' all around
'fraid I'm gonna get hit

Sun's all hottin' and a rotten hot
Vegetation's hot
Sleepin' in the bayou on an old rotten cot

Can't find my kind of folks havin' fun
I gotta run, run, run, run
Run to find a clear spot

Cave shattered down on the sun baked ground
Mosquitoes 'n moccasins, steppin' all around
And I'm gonna get hit
'fraid I'm gonna get hit
I run so far to find a clear spot
Afraid I'm gonna get hit

Won't break my heart, won't hope to die
Before Lexington, could slow down
They say a chariot's waitin'
Will it get cut loose
The place starts swinging
When it's me on the noose
Mother do you think
That the children cry
Cause they want to shake your chain?
Mark miles today, one for every year of my life
In the stinking fucking rain
Just to slow down
So I could so slow down
So I could so slow down
Yeah
Look for me luck
Just one last time
Spare me a chance, I've wasted mine
Shine on me light, don't you know I would
Reach for you there
If only I could
If I could slow down
If I could slow down
If I could slow down
Just slow down
Don't mind being stoned
They say Jesus was
And I like being alone, and I could take livin' low
Forgive my being cruel, if ever I was
Say a word for me too
When I'm under the gun
It wouldn't break my heart
If I could slow down
Let the place start swingin
There's a chariot waitin'
It wouldn't break my heart
If I could slow down
Let the place start swinging
There's a charoit waiting
It wouldn't break my heart
