I held on to the bottle
Swung my neck out like a crane
Mama, I buried the revolver
I danced in the rain
Still, just like a child
When they say your na---ame
Do you see it in my face, in my fa---ace?
All the lines just turn the same, all the same
Do you see it?
Allegiant to the teething
Of a hundred surrogates
They lead me right into the water
They lead me over the cliffs
I'm asking for the shepherd
I came here for the my---yth
Do you see it in my hips, in my hips?
Oh it is now what it is, what it i---is
Do you see it?
The tellin' ain’t told gently
So pay your tab and pay your dues
The dogwood and the chicory
And a silent wood stove flue
Your baby's got the blues just like you
Your baby's got the blues
You'll find me in the hollow
Dosing anything that might
Make the map look any smaller
Give me a dog in a fight
Call it off or call it God
Call it anything you li---ike
Do you see it in my eyes, in my e---eyes?
A levee on the rise, on the rise
Do you see it?
The tellin' ain’t told gently
So pay your tab and pay your dues
The dogwood and the chicory
And a silent wood stove flue
Your baby's got the blues just like you
Your baby's got the blues
