lyrics

Sally came over to my house, she's the Devil.
She wears the Devil's clothes on Christmas Eve.
Then she serves me tea and bagels from the table.
Well, the Devil flew in from Georgia, and ain't she sweet?
She's a real fine southren belle with southren flavor,
can you believe that I'd do anything but get a bite to eat?

[CHORUS]
I've been waiting all my life for you to take my coat.
Wherefore art thou, Ro-me-old-me? Heal me, darlin', don't.
Darlin', don't.

Walkin' down by train tracks in the summer,
the Goddess of the Earth she did appear.
When I told her my whole life'd been pulled asunder
she just smiled at me and she sipped again her beer.
She's a real fine southren belle with southren flavor,
can you believe that I'd do anything but try to pull her nearer?

[CHORUS]

In the gutter, in the back of a train car, in the alley,
I dreamed that my dear mother was a saint.
When I asked her if that meant my blood was holy,
she said "Boy, you think you're pious, but ya ain't."
She's a real fine southren belle with southren flavor,
and I hope she doesn't mind that I'll be gettin' in quite late.

[CHORUS]

Well, I wake up and I think that day has broken,
but I find the only thing broken is my mind
and my heart is it's ridiculous companion
that stumbles, kicks, and slowly tags behind.
And the line is fine, but it divides a secret,
could you believe that I'd do anything but try to toe that line?

[CHORUS] x 2
