The Legendary Shack Shakers - Bible, Candle and Skull lyrics

ba*tard son of the carnival strongman Taught to fear the white rat by his great-granddad Still he ain't no slouch at crammin' 'em in With a bullhorn in his hand Formaldehyde's half empty but he tops it off With a bottle of burglar's wine They beat a blind man to d**h with his own damn cane On a jam-packed Saturday night Well he's the devil's understudy, you know he's always ready To fill in in a pinch Well he gon' try to be your buddy, or maybe be your honey Baby just grab an inch He says the grindin' wheel always gets the grease Though the blade is bloody and dull But your drum off flies with the greatest of ease With a bible, candle, and skull, boys Bible, candle and skull B-B-B-Bible, candle and skull, boys Bible, candle and skull Equal parts floozy and flim-flam She's the ugly one in her one-woman band She says he ain't Mr. Right, but he's Mr. Right-Now Yeah he's my presidential confidence man He's kissin' hands and shaking babies From Herkimer to Hades, with his third-place trophy bride Plantin' seeds of deception like a kudzu weed Just hold it out, drop it, and run for your life! Well even a two-headed fetus outta have a good home Not in the trunk where jumper cables belong But that's just that kind of thing that'll set you off Resist his bible, candle and skull, boys Bible, candle and skull B-B-B-Bible, candle and skull, boys Bible, candle and skull Well the candle's snuffed and there's nothing left In the spotlight but bugs and bats He took his one-drop rule complimentary mule And a dirt road to Arkansas To his hometown of Hope at last!
