I caught a glimpse of your body by the river I was alone and the sky went forever I was the one that k**ed your father in the first world war I once vowed to love your sister for a lifetime Took her to the altar and left her like a wind chime That was the dawning of the age of the cannibal world Lord have mercy on my soul, have mercy Lord Mama, have mercy on my soul I took your wild peaco*ks down to the sawmill And ground their bones into dust and blood meal A rainbow of feathers and shame fell upon my wicked hand
Lucy, my love, get inside my Grand Torino I tell you little girl don't go into the jungle There's a million hungry insects there And man, they're going to eat you alive, yes, they will Lord have mercy on my soul, have mercy Lord Mama, have mercy on my soul Cold dead moon don't stare at me With your bony judgmental eye Only the peaco*ks and earthly things Can judge me as they pa** by Can judge me as they pa** through this world Judge me as they pa** by Lord, he has my number under the thunder in his hand
