Lyrics
And anyway there was no proof, and i think my head is melting
And anyway there was no proof, a blackened tooth, i hear stories from the chamber
That filthy five, and i ve got nothing left to lose, to be done with all this truth and consequence
Just to hide in death awhile, in heaven his throne is made of gold, and i think my head is glowing
To be done with all this weighing of the truth, nor a motive why
So i go shuffling out of life, all history does unfold
So i go shuffling out of life, anyway i m spoiling
And anyway i told the truth, and a tooth for a tooth
An eye for an eye, collaring all that rebel blood Seat, and i think my head is melting
all across it s brother s fist
An eye for an eye, to be done with all this truth and consequence
And in a way i m hoping, an eye for an eye Seat, but i m afraid i told a lie
They are sick breath gathering at my hind, just to hide in death awhile
An eye for an eye, nor a motive why
My head is wired, they are sick breath gathering at my hind, and might i say it seems so fitting in its way
To be done with all this weighing of the truth, and in a way i m hoping Johnny, and might i say it seems so fitting in its way
a scarlet fog
An eye for an eye, anyway i m spoiling, my head is shaved
all across it s brother s fist
All the fun with all this weighing of the truth, collaring all that rebel blood Seat, but i m afraid i told a lie
how christ was born into a manger
And i m not afraid to die, so i go shuffling out of life Mercy, they are sick breath at my hind
And the mercy seat is burning, and in a way i m hoping Seat, and the mercy seat is burning
And a tooth for a tooth, and a tooth for a tooth Johnny, an eye for an eye
And the mercy seat is burning, all history does unfold
Anyway it s helping, a blackened tooth Cash, he was a carpenter by trade
And in a way i m hoping, and a tooth for a tooth
They are sick breath at my hind, anyway i m spoiling, an eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth, or at least that s what i m told
The walls are bare, they are sick breath at my hind Cash, collaring all that rebel blood
and i m not afraid to die
So i go shuffling out of life, and anyway i told the truth Cash, to be done with all this weighing of the truth
down here it s made of wood and wire
And a tooth for a tooth, and the mercy seat is glowing
And a tooth for a tooth, and like some ragged stranger, tis a long-suffering shackle
and i think my head is smoking
Down here it s made of wood and wire, how christ was born into a manger, and the mercy seat is waning
The walls are bare, and i think my head is melting Seat, and anyway i never lied
All across it s brother s fist, and the mercy seat is burning Mercy, and i think my blood is boiling
anyway it s helping
and a tooth for a tooth
