Wild Martha 03:39
Friday nights in Louisville were not famous for the excitement or the fun At 12 they closed the bars Five past there were no cars But one day a stranger came and purchased the abandoned house on Main Street Four blocks away from church People were outraged When they lifted up their heads And saw the sign that read “Watch out for wild Martha and her gun”. Pretty soon the streets were filling up with out-of-towners dressed up fancy Up ‘til Sunday noon All hotels were full The stranger hung around and started building up some more hotels on Main Street To satisfy demand Put Louisville on the map Some people were showing content With the neon sign that read “Watch out for Wild Martha and her gun”. Every day the Mayor would receive 100 letters, sometimes more Complaining about the sin The city was living in But the Mayor couldn’t help at all He could only watch his city grow The stranger hadn’t broken any law. Tourism was growing Foreigners kept on coming Some were happy about it, some were not. Everyone could sense The atmosphere was tense Something bad was cooking, you could tell. It all happened Friday night; the midnight show was over at the club And everyone was drunk When they walked up to their cars Soon the flames were rising; you could see the smoke from many miles around And all throughout the night The club burnt to the ground And the only thing the fire saved Was the neon sign that read “Watch out for wild Martha and her gun”. No one was arrested, but the whole town knew who’d done it and what for But they chose to pass it by Try to forget the past And if you go to the old graveyard You can see it, carved in black “Here lies poor Wild Martha with her gun”.

David met the Devil in the desert He left Jesus hanging on the cross He rose up from disappointment And found a new light in the sand. A light that was brighter than the sun A mystery easy to understand He forgot every lesson That took him his whole life to learn Then he stepped down from the altar David met the Devil, saw the light. David met the Devil in the desert Dressed up like a black thunder cloud His hands were soft, but his eyes were black His mouth was small but his voice was loud. Never seen a light so bright before Never felt this coolness in his soul He gave himself a new name And the rain started to fall While the bright light just kept getting brighter David met the Devil, saw the light. Meanwhile in town The neon signs are glowing The motorbikes are roaring And everybody is blind. David met the Devil, saw the light. Meanwhile in town The crosses are on fire Love flows through a wire And everybody is blind. David met the Devil in the desert He left Jesus hanging on the cross Nobody knows what happened They found his body in the sand And his soul was never found David met the Devil, saw the light.

The tide is rising it’s going to drown the shore Could you tell me when it floods? My eyes are working fine buta ll i see is dark And you can’t tell the blind to guide himself Though I am healthy I’m blind as Hazel Motes I see no hope in the world There’s only darkness covering the void Are you blind as well or is it just me? Are you blind as well or is it just me? Yeah, we’re blind and deaf and dumb, who’s gonna guide us? The blind will guide the blind Yeah, we’re blind and deaf and dumb, who’s gonna guide us? The blind will guide the blind We see no bright light, but we keep going on Our feet are heavy but strong We wanna have hope and so we follow those who guide Funny thing, they can see as much as we do It’s a funny thing they can see as much as we do. Yeah, we’re blind and deaf and dumb, who’s gonna guide us? The blind will guide the blind Yeah, we’re blind and deaf and dumb, who’s gonna guide us? The blind will guide the blind So we are blind men; we haven’t always been Many of us have done this to themselves When times are bitter who wants to open up their eyes Easier to be guided by the blind Yes, it’s easier to be guided by the blind. Yeah, we’re blind and deaf and dumb, who’s gonna guide us? The blind will guide the blind Yeah, we’re blind and deaf and dumb, who’s gonna guide us? The blind will guide the blind

It was I who ran away from James Franco The day that Allen Ginsberg died Now they’ve tried to sterilize my accent And they want to crucify my shape Oh, Come Judgement Day Tail between your legs Feeling guilty Feeling dirty I left Lindsay waiting at the altar I killed my father at dinner as a child Now I’m trying to make peace with my dead son He died on the last day of the War Oh, Come Judgement Day Tail between your legs Feeling guilty Feeling dirty The truth is I don’t care about most people And most people don’t care about me I sing about historical heroes But I don’t know their stories or the song Oh, Come Judgement Day Tail between your legs Feeling guilty Feeling dirty Feeling guilty Feeling dirty
