1. Beast
The devil's head is along the highway
He's electric got nothing to say
Not an easy road in the heat of the day
I'm sick and tired of the tolls I've got to pay
Do you fill my head with lies
I'm sleeping uneasy tonight
My body's broken and I'm shaking inside
You're a little beast
Pearls before the swine love is a higher law
The purple sky brings out those hungry dogs
Sonny boy williamson can you tell me what went wrong
Can I have your shoulder to lean on
Do you fill my head with lies
I'm sleeping uneasy tonight
My body's broken and I'm shaking inside
You're a little beast
When a child is unwanted they say justice falls
Let's go into the poor neighborhoods and machine gun them all
Salvation is a dove and branch the rainbow crucified
Chill the messiah who is your Jesus Christ
Do you fill my head with lies
I'm slleping uneasy tonight
My body's broken and I'm shaking inside
You're a little beast
2. Place
What if I'm right and you are wrong
If I have eternity and you don't have long
What if there is a heaven and a place called hell
What if my foolishness was really wisdom to your ears
And all of my preachin' could draw the spirit so near
What if there is a heaven and a place called hell
What if you could see water turn to wine
Would you say a miracle or call it a crime
What if there is a heaven and a place called hell
What if you see Jesus on judgement day
Do you think you'll get a second chance
What do you think the King will say
What if there is a place called heaven and a place called hell
3. Murder
Feel like suicide, salt to the wounds of pain
Pray for a miracle while you're going insane
Carved like a lover's decadent stare
Keep going back to the temptation in the air
Feel like murder murder murder
Feel like murder everywhere
Feel like murder
Wash away His touch, enemy inside
The Lord will come to her, find the reason to justify
Virtue is swollen, the night is spent and done
She's so sure of herself she'll stare into the sun
Feel like murder murder murder
Feel like murder everywhere
Feel like murder
Wake up in the morning take a deep breath
There's no smell of roses, just the scent of death
Life's intoxicating like street confetti red
Can't start believing with those voices in your head
Feel like murder murder murder
Feel like murder everywhere
Feel like murder
4. Scarecrow
Jesus, much like the scarecrow, is there for protection. the world views Jesus as hollow and lifeless; however, He is the Light of the world for all who have the courage to believe. Jesus on the cross weathered the storm of all mankind's sins. He stood alone as a gift of love to the world.
There You stand, arms out wide
Like forbidden fruit to the squinting eye
Gather us together under your almighty wings
Bruise the head and see what tomorrow brings
Scarecrow all alone
Scarecrow bring your children home
Hand to the plow, forgiving multitudes
Give them compassion, why are they afraid of You
Proud at the altar, vain before the throne
If You are blameless then throw the stone
Scarecrow all alone
Scarecrow bring your children home
Betrayed by a friend, hung out to dry
Alone in the end, stretched across the sky
Eclipse the sun, they know not what they do
They say if God is love why would He be so cruel
Scarecrow all alone
Scarecrow bring your children home
Scarecrow all alone
Scarecrow bring your children home
5. Crazy
I can't bear the rooster's crow
I guess that's something that you already know
Remember the darkness bless the light
Lest I fall into the night
Like a saint I walk on water, turn the water into wine
Turn the other cheek, give my eyes to the blind
You might think I'm crazy, crazy like a fox
I got something, something called fire
I got something take my spirit higher
Stopped wearing black and tired of looking thin
I got a big fat spirit walking born again
I got to get so humble going to wash your feet
Got to feed the beggar down on poor man's street
Like a saint I walk on water, turn the water into wine
Turn the other cheek, give my eyes to the blind
You might think I'm crazy, crazy like a fox
I got something something called fire
I got something take my spirit higher
6. Time
Got a raindrop of the tip of my tongue
If I get all I want I'll have to give you some
I'm the beggar, the thorn in the brow
I'm the cross you force and twist into the ground
Butter so stiff that it wounds my bread
Got a dew drop omelette on a trash can lid
Ain't got no loafers to warm my feet
Funny papers stimulate comic strip heat
Crack vial breaking like a shotgun blast
How long can the sounds of a cat fight last
Howling at the moon for friends who have passed
On sunday we'll fly black flags from the mast
I've been hurting deep in my soul
Does anybody have the time Holy Ghost
Diesel is the smell of a mississippi grill
Played trombone once for a delta dollar bill
Pull the snow around me snug like a blanket of wool
If I lie here to freeze to death I'd be another fox hole fool
I got nothing new it's used, borrowed, and spent
Good friday, ash wednesday, and a pocket full of lent
Living in a box of cardboard and grit
Made a window, made a sign, wouldn't mind working a little bit
I've been hurting deep in my soul
Does anybody have the time Holy Ghost
I can't sleep, I can't think
Life has pured me a glass that I can't drink
The rim is jagged like a razor's blade
And has left a scar that will never fade
My thoughts are daggers on every nerve
Life is a slow song with dirty words
When I get to heaven will I wear a mask
That is a question I must ask
I've been hurting deep in my soul
Does anybody have the time Holy Ghost
7. One
If plowshares could speak and if the lost would speak
They would find themselves together
When the new world comes the face of the sun
New wine for all the pain
I know you will catch me when I cannot see
I've walked in these shoes up to my knees
I've birthed a mountain that's hard to climb
Weary and well doing I will make time
I'm the one
I am the one
That is what I've become
I'm the one
I am the one
Don't let your good be spoken evil of
I'm the one
I am the one
That is what I've become
I'm the one
I am the one
Don't let your good be spoken evil of
Heart and mustard seed faith is to believe
I dig in the dirt, my hands bleed
If answers is why we pray
Then let us bow our heads today
I'm the one
I am the one
That is what I've become
I'm the one
I am the one
Don't let your good be spoken evil of
I'm the one
I am the one
That is what I've become
I'm the one
I am the one
Don't let your good be spoken evil of
8. Doubt
I have broken many promises, thrown caution to the wind
Rebelled in my youth but here You come again
You are the meesage in the bottle, the light that never dims
And though I let you down You'll always be my frind
I will never forget, I will have no regrets
Don't want to cheat anyone
Don't wnat to steal from anyone
Don't want to lie
Don't want to quit
Don't want to leave any doubt
Put my faith in fairy tales, believed what I was told
I've watched the holy eat their own, suck the meat and lick the bone
There is only one voice my universal guide
You've alway been beside me even when I wanted to die
I will never forget, I will have no regrets
Don't want to cheat anyone
Don't wnat to steal from anyone
Don't want to lie
Don't want to quit
Don't want to leave any doubt
Don't want to step on anyone
Don't want to hurt anyone
Don't want to curse anyone
Don't want to leave any doubt
Sometimes I itch and squirm to crawl out of my skin
You put your arm around me like the air that I take in
Won't push no needle in my arm or bathe in gasoline
Never swear in Jesus' name or hide behind the pain
Don't want to cheat anyone
Don't want to steal from anyone
Don't want to step on anyone
Don't want to hurt anyone
Don't wnat to curse anyone
Don't want to leave any doubt
9. Dadmom
Dad I love you, Mom I love you so much
Please don't go, I know you miss me so much
I want you so much Jesus cares about us
Dad I love you, Mom I love you so much
I know you want to be with me
Dad she's coming back to me
Mamma was gone, she said she's coming back
I never stopped being me, I love you Dad so much
Dad I love you, Mom I love you so much
You're the only one for me, I love you wherever you go
Happy Father's Day Dad, are you all fine
I know you want to be with me
Dad she's coming back to me
Mamma was gone, she said she's coming back
I want to save you in my mind
Dad I want you to be in my mind forever
I love you the way you love me
I want to be with you, be with me forever
I know you want to be with me
Dad she's coming back to me
Mamma was gone, she said she's coming back
Dad I love you, Mom I love you so much
10. Thorns
She lost her love
Tore the picture of the one that she thought of
She's alone again
But it's worse than it's ever ever been
She hurts so bad down and out
She feels the pain of a broken heart
She hurts so bad she feels the pain of a broken heart
The black rain falls the river runs red
Like a crown of thorns to her pretty little head
The black rain falls the riiver runs red
Like a crown of thorns to her pretty little head
She holds the cross
In her hand but she feels so cold and lost
Take a look inside
Nowhere to run no place to hide
She hurts so bad down and out
She feels the pain of a broken heart
She hurts so bad she feels the pain of a broken heart
The black rain falls the river runs red
Like a crown of thorns to her pretty little head
The black rain falls the riiver runs red
Like a crown of thorns to her pretty little head
She never told a lie
Put her faith in love never compromised
She had a heavy gun
But she tied her strings she never came undone
She hurts so bad down and out
She feels the pain of a broken heart
She hurts so bad she feels the pain of a broken heart
She hurts so bad down and out
She feels the pain of a broken heart
She hurts so bad she feels the pain of a broken heart
The black rain falls the river runs red
Like a crown of thorns to her pretty little head
The blck rain falls the river runs red
Like a crown of thorns through her pretty little head
