put me in a hole in the ground. with the money and the towel. and the women all runnin' around. can't complain about the mess. momma killed the only dress. now she's longin' for the pines. watch my troubles all unwind. drinkin' gasoline and wine. catch a chill off the stove. on the train they cannot feel. lost my head beneath the wheel. now she steals my body home. the trees are fake the air is dead. the birds are stuffed with poison lead. and the ground is much too clean. and if it's only me who's scared. strap 'em to the electric chairs. ring the moon like a broken bell. when she drags you from the hill. daddy's gonna burn down the still. we can watch it from the rooftop. lay in to the fryin' pan. now she kisses her own hand. with the fiddle on the fire. I took a leap into the fog. sleepin' on a hollow log. now I'm coughin' with no mouth. you can keep yourself inside. but you know you cannot lie.
