Lot’s Wife Lyrics

Sixteen feet below sea level
Caught 'tween the devil and the muddy brown sea

That money that money
That money reach in and spin me about
My hate rise up, rip my insides out

My madness rise up in a fury so wild and I let myself go
Spoke my hate to a child
Pennies done that
Pennies done that
Pocket change

Pocket change change me
Pocket change change me
Can't afford loose change
Can't afford change
Changing's a danger for a woman like me
Trapped 'tween the Devil and the muddy brown sea

I got to get back to the way that I been
God drag me back to that basement again
Don't know what I said to that little boy

Always they's been people who
Hold they head high getting through
I can't
I can't!

Ain't never been no good
Finding joy the way you should
Uh-uh
Uh-uh

Hoping water turn to wine
Hope's fine, hah!
Hope's fine
Hope's fine
'Til it turn to mud and

Some folks go to school at night
Some folks march for civil rights
And I don't!
I ain't got the heart
I can't hardly read

Some folks do all kinds of things and
Black folks someday'll live like kings
And someday sunshine shine all day

Oh sure
It true
It be
That way

But not for me
This also true
Ya'll can't do what I can do
Ya'll strong but you ain't strong like me

I'm gonna slam that iron
Down on my heart
Gonna slam that iron
Down on my throat
Gonna slam that iron
Down on my sex
Gonna slam it
Slam it
Slam it down
'Til I drown
The fire out
'Til there ain't no air left
Anywhere

What else
What else
What else
What else God
What else God give me an arm for?

Slam down the iron
Slam down the iron
Flat
Flat
Flat
Flat

Now
How about that then?
That what Caroline can do
That how she rearrange herself
That how she change

Murder me God
Down in that basement
Murder my dreams
So I stop wanting
Murder my hope of him returning
Strangle the pride that make me crazy
Make me forget so I stop grieving
Scour my skin 'til I stop feeling
Take Caroline away cause I can't be her
Take her away I can't afford her
Tear out my heart
Strangle my soul
Turn me to salt
A pillar of salt
A broken stone and then

Caroline
Caroline

From the evil she done, Lord
Set her free
Set her free
Set me free

Don't let my sorrow
Make evil of me
