Morning Star

Give an inch you take a mile
Bend the truth you crack a lie
Never see these tears if you can’t play nice
Steady hands are shaking tight
Skipping stones through broken light
Eyes that burn like cherry’s in the cold hard night
Hush little darling don’t you cry
Poppa’s gonna make that jailbird fly
Run for your life it’s almost closing time
Jaws are waiting on the rising tide
Hush little darling don’t you cry
Poppa’s gonna make that jailbird fly
I’m on my way back to the Promised Land
Just couldn’t satisfy
Lucifer, son of the morning star
Lucifer, just won’t let me be
Lucifer, son of the morning star
Lucifer, just won’t let me be
Burning tears of dirty rage
Back and forth pacing in the Lion’s cage
Morning star are you ever gonna fall from grace
Wicked ways your trying to play
Beg and plead but you can’t save face
Choking on the ashes of a cold and bitter flame
Hush little darling don’t you cry
Poppa’s gonna make that jailbird fly
Run for your life it’s almost closing time
Jaws are waiting on the rising tide
Hush little darling don’t you cry
Poppa’s gonna make that jailbird fly
I’m on my way back to the Promised Land
Just couldn’t satisfy
Lucifer, son of the morning star
Lucifer, just won’t let me be
Lucifer, son of the morning star
Lucifer, just won’t let me be
Give an inch you take a mile
Bend the truth you crack a lie
Never see these tears if you can’t play nice
Steady hands are shaking tight
Skipping stones through broken light
Eyes that burn like cherry’s in the cold hard night
Hush little darling don’t you cry
Poppa’s gonna make that jailbird fly
Run for your life it’s almost closing time
Jaws are waiting on the rising tide
Hush little darling don’t you cry
Poppa’s gonna make that jailbird fly
I’m on my way back to the Promised Land
Just couldn’t satisfy
Lucifer, son of the morning star
Lucifer, just won’t let me be
Lucifer, son of the morning star
Lucifer, just won’t let me be
