lyrics

NOT SO FAR

I’ve never much been dead.
This bulldog on my head sends that boy to the chair.
Makes this space empty air.

Poor fellow with a furrowing brow.
Body bag. Washed out. Pick it up, now.
Be quick about it, I don’t doubt it for a heartbeat.
My friends and neighbors got some action in the same sheets.
Old timer thinks it sounds like a bribe.
Talk about brain damage with a dangerous tribe.
Reassure me, Boneman. Say it’s ok.
But, he’s busy trying to figure out who goes and who stays.

It’s not so far to Hell. Big fire.
Not so far to Hell.

I bought a saxophone. I’m in the lights alone.
I `don’t care what they say. I play it anyway.

It’s not so far to Hell. Big fire.
Not so far to Hell.

I am falling.

I tried to move Heaven and Earth for you.
Now, I’m holding my breath till I‘m blue.

As you can plainly see, this lamb runs after me.
Throw off your silence, now. Embrace the blackness, now.

It’s not so far to Hell. Big fire.
Not so far to Hell.

Well, it’s about time to find out where the loyalty lies.
I can’t be swimming with the fishes I fry.
Watch out, this bullet’s got my name on the side.
May God protect you when you fall from his eyes into Hell.

Big fire.
