lyrics

the grass that grew
on my old bed
was only for my head
the holy three
a family
was lying in my bed
with their eyes closed

see it dance along
the thin red line
hold it
oh until you're left behind
you can call on me
you can call on me
you can call on me
you can call

the giving tree
you gave to me
a pocket full of lead
the first degree
indemnity
I'll pray for you instead
with my pockets full of lead

see it dance along
the thin red line
hold it
oh until you're left behind
well, you can call on me
you can call on me
you can call on me
yeah, you can call on me
you can call

(there's a muzzle on his mouth
and chains on his feet...)
