beck - steal my body home lyrics

put me in a hole in the ground
with the money and the towel
and the women learnin' to bow [?]

can't complain about the mess
momma killed her only dress
now she's longin' for the pants

watch my troubles all unwind
drinkin' gasoline and wine
catchin chill up the storm

on the train they cannot feel
lost my head beneath the wheel
now she steals my body home

the trees are fake, the air is dead
the birds are stuffed with poison lead
and the ground is much too clean

and if it's only me who's scared
strap me into the 'lectric chairs
ring the moon like a broken bell

when she drags you from the hill
daddy's gonna burn down the still
we can watch it from the rooftop

ooh... [etc...]

lay into the fryin' pan
now she kisses her own hand
with the fiddle on the fire

i took a leap into the fog
sleepin' on a hollow log
now i'm coughin' with no mouth

you can keep yourself inside
but you know you cannot hide
when the devil's your only friend
mmmmmmmmmm......
