Moonshine
Moonshine
I may be bleeding but I feel just fine
Moonshine
Moonshine
I wish to God you would send me a sign
My future's on its knees
It don't do its best to please
My crooked spine
Moonshine
Moonshine
I got the troubles of this whole world combined
Moonshine
Moonshine
I bet my whole life on this useless design
And I don't see no place
That I can show this shameful face
Without fear of decline
Never knowing
Is the most evil feeling
And every answer here
Is none too appealing
I'm just waiting in line
Praying hard when it comes, it's divine
Have I been blind, moonshine?
Moonshine
Moonshine
I'm going up to Graceland where they built me a shrine
Moonshine
Moonshine
I'll take all your problems if you'd only take mine
And we'll go with the girls
They got empty beds and curls
We won't be easy to find, moonshine
I'm trying to keep my brains from getting dry
There's only way I know
I'm gonna bolt shut the windows
Barricade the doors
Let all of my judgements go
I'll take the meat from the table
Talk straight while I'm able
Untill I'm nothing less than a crime
Until my heart stops beating
I will drink myself too much wine
Well I know I'm getting nowhere
Creeping up the backstair
Telling myself I'm in pain
Even I don't believe me
I'm threatening to leave me
Till only my dumbness remains
Well even schoolgirls deride me
There's something dead inside me
I'd give away my blood for a sign
Until my ship comes in
I'm gonna drink myself too much wine
Too much wine, too much wine
I'll be your best kind of friend
I'll be submissive to the end of the line
And when the clock strikes seven
They can cut me down in my prime
I'll be your last witchdoctor
I'll be anything for too much wine
I'm trying to keep my brains from getting dry
There's only way I know
I'm gonna bolt shut the windows
Barricade the door
Let all of my judgements go
I'll take the meat from the table
Talk straight while I'm able
Untill I'm nothing less than a crime
Until my heart stops beating
I will drink myself too much wine
Too much wine, too much wine
Too much wine
I'll be your best kind of friend
I'll be submissive to the end of the line
And when the clock strikes seven
They can cut me down in my prime
I'll be your last witchdoctor
I'll be anything for too much wine
Too much wine, too much wine
I'll be your best kind of friend
I'll be submissive to the end of the line
And when the clock strikes seven
They can cut me down in my prime
I'll be your last witchdoctor too much wine
I'll be anything for too much wine
I'll be your last witchdoctor too much wine
I'll be anything for too much wine
I'll be your last witchdoctor too much wine
I'll be anything for too much wine
She said, "I know that there will come a time
When I get nothing from the blood and the wine"
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
You'll find me a silver chain
They'll deny me and whisper my name
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'll carry myself half way blind
Through each and every doorway I can find
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna lose my lonely mind for you
Well there's an answer if only I knew
It'll carry my heart home to you
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm digging the dirt for a sign
And pray to let my little light shine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
Tell one last beautiful lie for me
Make all your promises rhyme for me
Keep me in line but do it honestly
Make it real, make it slow, stay alive for me
Come on, babe where the line goes dead
I'll be fire, I'll be rain, I'll be joy, I'll be dread
Come on, baby don't be shy
All I want is you and I
Out on the street
I'll be every face
There'll be no man alive
That can take my place
Give it up, let it go
The sooner you do the sooner I'll go
I'm digging the dirt for a sign
And I'll pray to let my little light shine
And set my heart on the line
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
I'm going to lose my lonely mind
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
Jesus stole my baby
Jesus stole my girl
He took her away for an hour every sunday
And cut all of her beautiful curls
She was always easy seven days of the week
Now she's a bore and I've seen it before
She thinks it gives her some kind of mystique
Said that she just want's to save me
Said you cant go on the way that you are
She chased all my friends, hurts my brain till it bends
Hides my cigarettes and steals my guitar
And it's a long time since she was mine, Pretending I am fine
Another simple boy on the telephone line
And though she is living here with me
I'm aching to be free
She takes it all so god damn seriously
Well I've always been in love with her treasure
But she might as well be locked up in chains
When I ask she says no and I'm feeling so low
I'm bursting from my feet to my brains
Now if i could only talk to this Jesus
I'd tell him just how lonely I've been
I'd ask him to send home my baby again
So she can see what kinda state I've been in
Jesus stole my baby
So maybe I should steal his
She used to be mine
Now she's so dull and divine
May not be nice but thats the way that it
is
And I'm lost here among the clowns
Jesus men in gowns
All sandals and out of tune guitars
And she talks in terrified tones
Of skeleton bones
Screaming through a mangled microphone
And it's a long time since she was mine, Pretending I am fine
Another simple boy on the telephone line
And though she is living here with me
I'm aching to be free
She takes it all so god damn seriously
