Uncle Lucius - Taking in the View lyrics

The devil's in the detail shop Waiting on his old rag top Wondering where the hell have all the real souls gone It's been so long since the reaping's worth a damn Little Mary's living hand to mouth Can't believe how fast it all went south Taking pains to conceive of an immaculate life But Jesus Christ it sure gets hard sometimes [Chorus] And the bright Morning Star just left Chicago He's headed down to Asheville Carolina via Ohio They got a rich four-season climate And ridge of mountains blue And he's going to spend his golden years Taking in the view Ever since Joseph pa**ed away The lady hasn't had too much to say You can find her kneeling in the garden All skin and bones And when seeds have grown She'll plant again Last time the market fell Satan had to sell off half of hell Now it's all suburban sprawl and big box stores Well he can't be sure but this might be the end [Chorus] And the bright Morning Star just left Chicago He's headed down to Asheville Carolina via Ohio He's got a stack of cla**ic vinyl And a turn-table to boot And he's going to spend his golden years Taking in the view And he'll sing I shall be released And I've got a woman over town who's good to me Walking the floor And do-do-do looking out my back door Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in a church where a wedding's been Not going to hear that train a'coming around the bend And the bright Morning Star just left Chicago He's headed down to Asheville Carolina via Ohio They got a rich four-season climate there And a ridge of mountains blue And he's going to spend his golden years Taking in the view
