take the long black feather
from the raven's wing
(message in the wine...)
and the cry from the buzzard
and the wedding ring
(message in the wine...)
set out on the highway
watching the wind
satan's gonna get you
ain't no one gonna win
(message in the wine...)
you'll have a comb in your hair
and a rat up your shirt
(message in the wine...)
you got alligator shoes
and a mouth full of dirt
(message in the wine...)
you better hurry
if you want the race
satan's gonna get you
you're the first he's gonna chase
(message in the wine...)
a head on an arrow
a string on a bow
let them run you out of town
you've always wanted to go
sink like a fish
down in a bowl
drink like a drunk
out in the cold
(message in the wine...)
