Alright, George I began to warm and chill To objects and their fields A ragged cup and a twisted mop The face of Jesus in my soup Those sinister dinner deals The meal trolley's wicked wheels A hooked bone rising from my food All things, good or ungood And the mercy seat is awaiting And I think my head is a burning In a way I'm yearning to be done With all this weight of the truth An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die Interpret sign and catalogue A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog The walls are bad, black bottom kind They are the sick breath at my hind They are the sick breath at my hind They are the sick breath at my hind They are the sick breath gathering at my hind And I hear stories from the chamber How Christ was born into a manger And like some ragged stranger died upon the cross And might I say, it seems so fitting in its way He was a carpenter by trade Or at least that's what I'm told My kill-hand tattooed "Evil" across his brother's fist That filthy five did nothing to challenge or resist In Heaven His throne is made of gold And the ark of his Testament is stowed A throne from which I'm told All history does unfold Down here it's made of wood and wire And my body is on fire And God is never far away Into the mercy seat I climb My head is shaved, my head is wired Like a moth that tries to enter the bright eye So I go shuffling out of life Just to hide in death awhile And anyway I never lied My kill-hand is called "Evil" Wears a wedding band that's good 'Tis a long-suffering shackle Collaring all that rebel blood And the mercy seat is awaiting And I think my head is a-burning In a way I'm yearning to be done With all this weighing up of truth An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth And anyway, I've told the truth And I'm not afraid to die And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is melting In a way it's helping to be done With all this locks of disbelief An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth And anyway, I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is boiling In a way that's spoiling all of thongs By all these locks of disbelief An eye for a eye and a tooth for a tooth And anyway, I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die Now the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning In a way I'm yearning to be done With all these looks of disbelief A lie for a lie and a truth for a truth And anyway, there was no clue And I'm afraid I told a lie

There's a high wind blowin, & the stars are shining bright, Oh what a night, this is gonna be-- I think I'll let the world sleep without me. I got one eye open, one eye closed. & My thin body's trembling beneath the bedclothes, My hearts beatin' against the roof of my mouth --It's almost time to get out of this house. I got one hand on the radio, one hand on the wheel, I got my right foot on the floorboard,-- & I'm preparing to kill or be killed. There's a high wind blowin', & the stars are shining bright. & The rain upon the tarmac, --helps me sail through the traffic lights, I'm heading down to the dock of the bay, --to feel the power of the waves, I'm gonna move up close to that wind, & Wrestle with the thoughts solitude always brings. Y'see I'm stuck between hell & the deep blue sea, & I know that water's sucked under better man than me, I was just another western guy, --with desires that couldn't be satisfied, So one day, I asked the angels for inspiration, --but the devil bought me a drink, & He's been buying them ever since, He's had the liquor on my tongue --feel like the sea upon the sand, He's had me signing confessions --from this shaking hand, He's had me struggling to hang onto hope-- Like a drunken sailor in a tugboat With a bottle of vodka in my overcoat, & My dog eared bible lost--overboard Y'see he tricked me into temptation, So I've tricked him into this confrontation, I never said I was the man I appeared to be Not the flesh wrapped around the bones of necessity. Or the soul on fire--scribbling thoughts for posterity. I'm gonna have little lucifer, runnin' off to purgatory, --with his tail between his legs, I'm gonna teach him a lesson --he ain't ever gonna forget. All the vultures & crows are fixin up some tombstones But they won't be chewing the meat off my bones. There's a high wind blowin' & the stars are shining bright. Me & him are gonna have a little knife fight, --in the bowels of the big city skyline, Oh this feelin' inside runs dark & deep --Tonight my hearts not thumping --A Mercy Beat I was just another western guy, With desires that couldn't be--satisfied.
