Brian Deck - Big Burned Hand lyrics

When the arrogant goddess of love came to steal my shoes She had a white-hot pistol and a homemade heart tattoo Singing, "one's to give and one's to take away But neither of them will keep you off your knees" Her children bowed ad bolted off the stage While the lion and the lamb kept fighting for the shade tree When the winsome god of war came to set me free He had a couple of coke bottles full of gasoline Singing, "all I love is all that I allow" And he blew me a kiss off a big burned hand I nearly choked with smoke and fell down While the lion and the lamb kept shooting at a tin can When the gun shy goddess of love came back to patch things up She had a purple heart and mother's milk in a plastic cup Singing, "one will lay you gently in the grave And one's the flag you fold before you go" When the curtain rose the crowd was blown away While the lion and the lamb kept f**ing in the back row
