1. The One I Wasted
wright
I gave you all I had, you took all I could give-
Crawled sickness into my heart, set fire to where I live...
I took all you could give, I stole all that you had-
Crawled sickness into your heart, feasted until you bled.
Turned decomposed, this maggot soul-
Twenty five years of nicotine stains and rock and roll...
I awoke in a sweat from dreams of you
And I bled from scars I received from you
And wasted years for a cause untrue
I awoke in a sweat from dreams of you....
Oh,
Piss soaked, spread open, filth is a savior
Crawled sickness into your heart is a savior
Oh,crawled sickness into your womb...
These wasted fucking years have left sour souveniers
Of children's pain and hearts betrayed and sweat from sorrow's gain.
These wasted fucking years have left me spread wide open to your fear.
2. Baptized in Shit
this hatred, inherited-
baptized, in excrement-
disruption, of existence-
bastard, race of man
endtime, in race we rot
endtime, this flesh holocaust
this most sour failure, filth redemption
no hope...for intervention...
3. Bow to Quetzicoatl
cut by the obsidian blade-
autosacrifice-
my blood to appease the gods-
bow to quetzelcoal, the serpent god
4. The One That Wasted Me
destroyed
stripped down by three words
oh. the tales we tell through rotted teeth
each day more unbearable than the last
i can't stand to drag myself through life one more second
why must the sun shine again today?
with this rope around my neck, i throw up my hands...
into the heavens and pray for a dying of light-
and plant me so low that the sun will never reach me again...
5. The Miracle of Grief
6. Mississippi Queen (Mountain cover)
Mississippi Queen, If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen, She taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg, Around Louisiana way
Lived a cajun lady, Aboard the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes were'a gettin' their kicks,
Buddy, beg your pardon, I was getting mine!
Mississippi Queen, If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen, She taught me everything
This lady she asked me, If I would be her man
You know that I told her, I'd do what I can
To keep her looking pretty
Buy her dresses that shine
While the rest of them dudes were making their bread
Buddy, beg your pardon, I was losing mine!
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes were'a gettin' their kicks,
Brotha, beg your pardon, I was getting mine!
Yeah, Mississippi Queen!
