All the widows watch. Through all window sills. Hair raisin' in every room. Up the street come a walkin' chill. An' you ask for nothin'. 'Cept to be by my side.
Lovely lovely carol sue. I see the heel of the father. Crush the head of the serpent for you. An' that beast who found. . His way up to your room. You know the one the one.
Hey mister with your iron feet yeah. Never waver from your path. You think you got a way with somethin' boy. Well, see his hand an' feel his staff. . Hey you got a way with words alright yeah.
Little Johanna, girl of my prairie. Help me fill this house with living words. Further up and further in, let 'em fly from our lips. Just like birds, just like birds.
Is anything as lovely to me as the truth in love. I'll take it over freedom any day. It brings me ever an' this time to my knees. An on my knees I run away.
Well hey, I been down that a-way. With a dream on my arm. Yet me an' my love we could not stay. We heard voices of children. An' by little hands were led astray.
Tonight you've caught your breath. You've lost your American spirit. If only I could catch my death, yeah. Just give me long enough to fear it. . Her talk ain't like the other girls.
Self sent a twister. A tearin' after me. Gonna bust my house to splinters yes. An' take all that's dear to me. . You say you saw it comin' yeah. But still you did not flee.
I guess you didn't hear me. When I told you for the first time. Well don't you worry. It won't be the last. . All I need a floorboard. An' a wooden shoe.
