the blood of the devil

Lyrics

the rough ways ashore, in the will of her eyes, and a monkey's controller, what's left of her life, hopelessly empty, she's parked all she owns, in a rusted out chevy, off a chert county road, sadness and pleasure, fences and walls, yeah she never could ever, make sense of it all, was she pretty? was she scattered?, did she grow up too soon?, now none of that matters, when the flame licks the spoon, but her booktexts remembers, as her dreams fade to black, how the weight of a nickel, broke an honest girl's back, the blood of the devil, flows through the needle, and the last angel singing, that ave maria, there's a dark spirit rolling, over dixie tonight, and these black bells are tolling, as she drifts from the line, the blood of the devil, flows through the needle, and the last angel singing, that ave maria, the last angel singing, that ave maria
