Look at him - he's dying right before your eyes.
Did you know?
It seems to me that you're alright with his demise.
Is this so?
"A fool's disguise" you call the skin.
It takes a fool to hide within.
It takes a fool to hide at all - when noone's seeking you.
Drinking potion, thinking plague.
Until the time we all get paid.

St. Louis Woman, put on a diamond ring.
You got that man of mine tied to your apron string.
T'weren't for powder and store-bought hair,
that man o' mine never would've gone nowhere.
I'm feeling tomorrow like I did today.
Take some time to kneel on down and pray.

Two Score and Ten

We recall a time when man made water wine.
The colour of night. Tucked under a blanket.
Shook down by a Jericho wall.
They wanted my money.
They took me for all I had.
Two Score and Ten, all howling "amen."
But it just couldn't be so.
We took a stand on pedestals.
We tried to climb her pinnacles.
We fell to performing dollar miracles.
Shot forth from our hands a blizzard of sands
and let it roll.
I watched them turn the true into the false.

Baby's gone.
Don't want to leave it alone.
I want your loins fo' coins.
Get in my seraglio.
Prophecy won't fade.
I got my gold out anyway.
I want your loins fo' coins.
