Clean Blues

[Verse 1]
My friend, I see you've strayed so far off track
You'd have to hatchet half the world just to make it back
Well there's a wilderness of death snarling at your heels
But with fulfillment of the dead, your path is re-revealed

[Verse 2]
If you roll just like a sow in the future affection
And a-nothing in the now will give you satisfaction
And you crawl upon your knees a-looking for that species
Until your arms are all greased with that golden feces

[Chorus]
Is your heart gangrene with avarice?
But Jesus' gonna bleed you just like a fish, yeah
Yeah

[Verse 3]
Wеll, come on out of that water closet
Wеll, something stole your soul, well little man, what was it?
Did you exen that dung or did you plant your flag?
With his arms outflung, he'll free you from your plague

[Chorus 2]
And you've ensewered in the humors with the slippery bitches
But Jesus' gonna clean you just like a fish, yeah
Yeah

[Harmonica solo]

[Verse 4]
Little lady in the mirror, you're a pink narcissus
You're turning inside-out, you're young and wet and vicious
To call it duty's no deterrency of wisdom's pearl
Because your duty's dirty currency in this dark world
You're thanking God, it's getting hard to see your comely face
He's made your body a commodity in this dark place

[Chorus 3]
Well, if it pleases you to preen, if your looks are precious
But Jesus' gonna bleed you just like a fish, yeah
Yeah

[Outro]
