These clothes you gave me don't fit right The belt is loose and the noose is tight I'm drunk out looking for a fight I'm soft and heavy as the night I'm soft and heavy as the night I've drowned the leagues of thirty men And I've borne the wrath of each of them Oh sugar cane and sugar plum And the evils of a setting sun The evils of a setting sun
I'll be your nine pin, eight ball, seventh day six pound, diamond quarter girl
Well the holy water caught my dress And I fell down into a holy mess O Lazarus here and Lazarus gone Oh Lazarus won't you take me home Oh Lazarus won't you take me home It poured down from the mouths of babes Locusts in a land of grey I am wild-eyed and gone astray Oh brother dear, bear me away Brother dear, bear me away This is no country through love This is no country for me
I'll be your nine pin, eight ball, seventh day six pound, diamond quarter girl I'll be your nine pin, eight ball, seventh day six pound, diamond quarter girl
