The Misery Stains

Drug deal in the mountains. Drug deal has gone wrong. There were 6 men standing. Now there's 6 men gone. Heads or tails you make the call. Heads or tails you choose. 1958 has come. 1958 will lose. #Chorus No time for a heavy heart. No country for old men You can't stop what's coming, and it ain't all waiting on you. Beer leads to many more beers. Beer leads to lament. Run away and change your name. Run towards your end.

Young man comin up the mountainside, High hopes, keen mind and a back as strong as iron. Spending all his days dredging through the mud, Staring down at the ground, never looking up at God. The years piled on and his beard grew long, Never settling down, he never sheltered from the storm. And when it rains, it never just rains, But it pours like the devil's got it in for me.. #Chorus Old man, vagabond Call me what you want You won't be seeing me again Spent all his life on the bucket line… Headstrong, carry on Something now is really wrong He won't be coming round again Old man died on the bucket line. After all these years he's still digging in the dirt, Old bones, never tired, just dredging up the earth. Old man spent all his life in the mud, Looking for them nuggets, never prayin to his God. This old man was brung low, strung high, Last days of his life on the bucket line. And when it rains, it never just rains, But it pours from the heavens like the devil's got it in for me..

Depression, motor restless. Anxiety that never ends. Remember, lose my temper. Lost in my own thoughts. # Bridge Oh, i’m always running. Time and time again. Don’t know, what is coming. Or lurking, behind the door. #Chorus Never gonna get never gonna get it… Never gonna get never gonna get never gonna get it… never gonna get it! Never gonna get never gonna get never gonna get it… never gonna get it! I can’t get no sleep… Insomnia Trust me i am in denial. Dopamine flows through my brain. Sabotaging my sleep cycle Heart burns and chronic pain.

Living here in Pocomoke, we're keeping to ourselves. We're just fine the way we are, don't need nobody else. Minding our business, this is where I belong. If I happen to like my niece, why is that so goddamn wrong? All my friends and neighbors are all God fearing men. The earth is flat, live by the book, go to church when I can. This here angel, must be Heaven sent. Experience God's glory in Maryland. #Chorus We don't like strangers, in this here town. We don't take kindly to new folk around. We'll kick you in the teeth, put you in the ground. So get your ass to the bar and buy us another round. Listen ladies and gentleman this song is just a joke. I don’t know a damn thing about living in Pocomoke. Or it’s fine residents, whomever they are. Just be kind to one another.

I'm gonna take that gravel, gonna take the right hand road. And I’m looking for my baby, but she ain't never coming home. Gonna take that high road, see if she is near. I'm gonna take that high road, gonna see to find my dear. And if my baby ain't coming home I gotta make it on my own. I'm gonna take that gravel, gonna take the right hand road. Yeah I'm looking for my baby, but she ain't never coming home, hell yeah! I'm gonna take that low road, down and down it goes. 2x And if my babe ain't coming home I gotta make it on my own. Coming up on a crossroad, see if the devil is there. Coming up on that crossroad, gon see to sell my soul. And if the devil don't show I gotta make it on my own, hell yeah! Oh no, if the devil don’t show! Pay that price, gone sell my soul!

Clouds are up ahead, there's a big storm coming, better get your shit 'cause it'll soon be pouring.. Down on your head with poisonous rain, everything's going down, to the drain. Thunderbolts unfold bringing forth the tempest. Hurricane approaching up heaving unrest. Storms above your head, like a big bubble bursting. Filling up the space, drops a shadow lurching.. Hail on your body all over again. The shit will hit the fan, yeah it's coming down. #Chorus It's alright, misery stains, it's all coming down. It's alright, misery stays the same. Tornado dead ahead, hear it whooshing and whirling. Picking up in speed it will soon be hurling.. The life that you had and used to know. Twirling all mass around, in vertigo. Blizzard's pretty bad, there is no denying. What used to be solid is bound to go flying. Out of your hands and your control. Reality now consists of rock and roll. Clouds are up ahead, there's a big storm coming, better get your shit 'cause it'll soon be coming down.

Working at them cotton fields, givin’ me the blues. I’m thinkin’ of you my darlin’, thinking of you. Thinking of you my darling, is all I ever do. Riding down the highway, a thousand miles from home. Making me feel so lonesome, gotta keep my head up straight. Have to make this delivery in Ashville, without any delay. #Chorus It’s the same ol’ reason, again and again. Have to make a livin’, pay the rent. All this working’s keeping me from you. This has got me singing the working man’s blues. Part of the construction site, hammer and the nail. Crafting a grand ol’ mansion, building like a piece of art. From six ‘til eight working my ass off, while we are a part.

Sleeping at home in my warm bed A rude awakening, a gun at my head. Police officers grasp me and call out my name They have a dead body and i am to blame. } They think... Dragged to the station, placed under bright light. Answering all questions, during the night. Repeating the questions, my head get's all fuzzed. I have no alibi but answer I must. } Or it's a confession… I am not guilty. committed no crime. The judge holds a weapon, which sure is mine. My fingerprints are all over the knife. The jury pleads me guilty to pay with my life. } I didn't do it... Sitting on death row yeah I'm good as dead. Questions of death and life circle my head. In a round dark room stands the spark chair. Electricity runs through me and blows up my hair. My brains started boiling, my eyes wanna pop. My body is shaking and then my life stops. } So here it is now, my end. You can't can't reverse it, the end.

Nameless dread, walking dead I'll never forget that look of fear in your eyes when you realized.. You better run, run, run as fast as you can you wanna get out, but you gotta pay The Man I don't know how it started, but I know how it ends Temptation and lament… …but it's long Overdue, the bell tolls for you, Nowhere to run, nothing to lose! # Chorus Heel on the shovel You're dirt in the ground No stone to mark your grave You're going down Too late for redemption The walls are closing in Waiting for the hangman and your thought they dwell within, You think of all that could've been.. You gotta try, try, try to save your hide you wanna get out, but you gotta pay the price (no!) You don't know how you got caught in your little world of lies, and now you realize… …that it's long Overdue, the bell tolls for you, Nowhere to run, nothing to lose! # Chorus Heel on the shovel You're dirt in the ground No stone to mark your grave You're going down Heel on the shovel No one to set you free Death rides a pale horse And he rises for me

In Louisiana, lives a Voodoo Lady. You can ask her for a favor, but it won’t coming easy. You better start to dance and lose control. Bondye’s got your soul. Bring out the holy water, and the crucifixes. Tear out some nails, no one ever misses. Strip the tree to its bark Dr John has left his mark. # Chorus Pins in my arms, pins in my chest, Pins giving me a heart attack. Five finger grass, dragon blood sticks. Ouanga juju and gris gris. I guess you’d say i’m doing fine while she drinks my blood like wine. All she ever do is tell you lies… Voodoo Lady Staring at the crossroads, sit down with Papa Legba. Consulting Erzuli Dantor, she’s the Black Madonna. Kalfu’s domain is where you are at, There’s no turning back. Into her possession, she’s become your bokor. Walking like a zombie, what more could you ask for? Marie Lavau has told you so, Baron Samedi will know..

Trickster, bending time and space, seduce me with your beautiful face. Vixen, high cheekbones, cast your true shadow. Naked running around town, my head seems lost acting like a clown. Foaming, rattling, never tofu again. # Chorus Sleeping with the foxes, won't you cry some more? Sleeping with the foxes, banging on the devil’s door. High time, turn it all around, busting your head, laying on the ground. Sleeping, suffering, doing it all again. Evolving, millennium fox. Elusive creature wearing masks. Nine tails! Celestial, turns white as the brightest sky. She’s so fine, she’s in my mind. Satisfaction guaranteed. FOXY LADY Oh man, I don't know what I’d do without you. FOXY LADY Walking around the streets with no panties under. FOXY LADY Shake your tail feathers, shake it, shake it. FOXY LADY

I never trust a man who wishes me the world. I made it on my own, no need to chase the herd. But times are changin, My body's breakin down… They come like vultures, circling my bed. Don't have the dignity to wait until I'm dead. My breath is shakin, And soon my bones are dancin down the door… # Chorus Not all that glitters is gold, Last man standing or the first one to fold. I've seen the glint of greed in their eyes, Black as their hearts in the night. Not all that glitters is gold, There will be blood… Those long tongued lyin’ snakes, they're all the same. All smiles and innocence, deception is their game. Can almost taste them, Their rattlesnake shake just outside the door. And we know the old family is gone And we're all that's left behind. And we'll show the world everything is gone And we're all that's left behind.
