Voodoo Man Momma took me to the church and I sang a hymn Co-colonized Chris-ti-an Now I'm losin' my reli-gi-on God damn, so narcissistic this millennium Fuck you and the bubble that you livin' in I don't go to church, but I'm so spiritual Pulled my life out of dirt, that's a miracle If Jesus was a pop star, would he break the bank?

Woke up this mornin 50 miles from New Orleans And I could not find my baby My wallet or blue jeans And all I gots what I believe And a shoe for kickin rocks out by the road Well I've seen you twice before but I will not see you again I know it's you that left me stranded out in no where Lousian' From the swamp out by the highway to the other side of Houston here I go. Oh babe, why can't you see You're the only thing as heartless as me That I ever met Ever since you left beyond the place I'd never leave Well another thing I'll never do Is love you like I did I left the lights on for ya mama You told me I was a kid How the hell'd you have the heart To never let me know I was alone? Drove all the way to Texas with us dancin' in my head Just preachin' to the window all the things I never said Got two more waitin' on me You ain't nothin like I ever seen back home Oh babe, why can't you see You're the only thing as heartless as me That I ever met Ever since you left beyond the place I'd never leave I'm out here on the edge of town There ain't no lookin back Bout 80 pages to the wind blowin' white smoke from the stacks You can find me on the front porch Of the A frame out in Big Hill gettin' high Oh babe, why can't you see You're the only thing as heartless as me That I ever met Ever since you left beyond the place I'd never leave

Me and my partner we work on the run The quick try to get quicker and the creepers get hung Now it's you that got wasted tonight on the job One lost his liquor and the other lost his hand Ten sticky thumb prints on the door and the sink But nothin' saw nothin', just smell the stink Five hundred mugshots and a hundred to one Four forgotten and the rest just won't come When you've begun to think like a gun The rest of the year has already gone When you've begun to think like a gun The days of the year have suddenly gone (Well) Blood on the windows and blood on the walls Blood on the ceiling and down in the halls And the papers keep downing on everything I burned And the people getting restless but they'll never learn I picked up a doctor, he's good with a knife Says anesthetic's a waste of his time Works in a hurry but always worthwhile Knows they won't be back for a long long time Top of the staircase was ready to fall We were still waiting downstairs in the hall Watch out for big mama, she'll set you on fire Or go for your neck with the chicken wire When you've begun to think like a gun The days of the year have suddenly gone Once you've begun to think like a gun The days of the year have already gone Mother of plenty, mother of none You've got me cornered and still on the run I don't care nothing about you anyway Stuck in this hole I'm on my way Yeah, when you've begun to live like a gun The days of the year have already gone When you've begun to think like a gun The days of the year have suddenly gone

I'll love you forever Cherry, will you love me too? Cherry, will you love me too?

Just below San Diego Tijuana land of broken dreams Senoritas dancing in the moonlight Flashing Spanish dark eyes Everyone, it seems They say, "Hey, gringo! Can you take us across the border Just tell them I'm your daughter Loco, loco" Down the backstreets Through the alleys All the young men Stand with pride They guard the palace To the kingdom Called Tijuana Their heritage they decide They say, "Hey, gringo! Can you take us across the border We'll work for just a quarter On the other side" They say, "Hey, gringo! Can you take us across the border We'll work for just a quarter On the other side"
