The Devil In Mexico

Well I’ll take two shots said the devil to the man
and layed a little book on the bar well lord knows
the devil he only talks shit and only drinks whiskey
from the jar and his hands were raw and his eyes were
cold and his breath was pure alcohol and the sound of his voice it never got old and he talked and talked and
talked through the night kept sippin his shine till the
mornin light tumbled in through the shades and as he started to go i put three bullets in his back.
well the devils bleedin crude oil from a hole in his chest and its panging on the bedpan drippin
through the bedsheets and all the businessmen are
putting pails beneath his wounds and pawin the oil
at the market well his heart ain’t made of nothin but
piss and vinegar and his boots have trampled more than
you would know and his breath has split open the
thermometer on the sill its so fucking cold in here
since you brought in the snow black heart leaking oil
in the pan, dealin’insults with his free hand in this
hospital bed bleedin’Black heart you shot the plan to hell and the apathy ate you up inside Like slivers of lead inside your food
he’s the poison inside you and you eat until you’re full
and you eat until
youre full he lit the fires inside your belly full of medicine and whiskey
the aspirin, valium, codiene pills and silver rum someone
say a hail mary for this house bless the corners and burn the devil out.
