Satan Is Watching

Who will cast the first stone?
Who will send me back home?
Sin is eating up my bones
I’m walking with the Devil
This world is so evil
Lord! Lord! Lord!

Down there in old Arkansas
They’ll hang a man before his trial
Beat him down and string him up
Just to watch him suffer
This world is so evil
Lord! Lord! Lord!

I knew a man from round those parts
He had a kind of nervous heart
Some friends of mine tore him apart
I think he was my father
This world is so evil
Lord! Lord! Lord!

Well a well a well a
Satan is watching
As you walk down the road
Satan is watching
As you sleep

All I want’s deliverance
Free me from this terrible mess
Lord if you’re a hearing this
Give my spirit shelter
This world is so evil
Lord! Lord! Lord!

Send some lightning from the clouds
Get me off this dead end road
I will do just as I’m told
Burn me to a cinder
This world is so evil
Lord! Lord! Lord!

Take my soul up to the sky
Like a vulture I will fly
To this world I’ll say goodbye
Hello Holy avior
This world is so evil
Lord! Lord! Lord!

Well a well a well a
Satan is watching
As you walk down the road
Satan is watching
As you sleep

I am a crooked man bent down by sin
I am a crooked man bent down by sin

Flood waters rising fast
Dead bodies floating past
Tornadoes swooping down
Out of Satan’s Jeweled Crown
I had a date tonight
With a gal from out of state
Her Daddy was a policeman
Had himself a police badge
He said I’m doomed to fail
Said his daughter’s better off in jail

I am a crooked man bent down by sin
I am a crooked man bent down by sin

My uncle was a Christian Man
But the Lord didn’t give a damn
He lived sick and homeless
When he died I didn’t even notice
Me I only got one belief
Everything’s worse than it seems
I’m a Doomsday Preacher boy
Get your bucket it’s time to cry

I am a crooked man bent down by sin
I am a crooked man bent down by sin

To other folks I cannot relate
I could try but I ain’t
People just want fancy cars
Fancy house, expensive clothes
Fuck that shit, it’s fucking wrong
All I want is to live real long
I want to watch by body decay
My health suffer and my hair turn gray
Then the Devil can take me away
Yeah Satan you can have your way

I am a crooked man bent down by sin
I am a crooked man bent down by sin

That girl was evil
That girl was mean
She took my bones
And picked ‘em clean

Doggone she’s gone
Doggone she’s gone
It sure was nice
Having somebody around

She shot me once
Stabbed me twice
Made me afraid
To sleep at night

Doggone she’s gone
Doggone she’s gone
It sure was nice
Having somebody around

Daddy wants you back pretty girl
What do I gotta do?
Daddy wants you back pretty girl
What do I gotta do
To get you back with me?

Lordy, Lordy I feel blue
I’m just gonna wait for you
Then I’m gonna cut your soul in two

Everybody’s got themselves
A horseless carriage
All the gals talkin’ ’bout
A happy marriage
And here I am living
On this dead end street
With no running water

Ain’t you gonna cry for me gal?
Ain’t you gonna cry for me?

All around town
They’re building golden statues
I’m gonna kick ‘em down
With my steel toe shoe
When I’m gonna go
To the dumpster baby
And dream about you
Ain’t you gonna cry for me gal?
Ain’t you gonna cry for me?

Everyone just wants
To be my master
To shine their shoes
And say “Well yes sir!”
I think I’d rather crush
My own gasping throat
Than to face that future

Ain’t you gonna cry for me gal?
Ain’t you gonna cry for me?

I have been swallowed by sin
I have been swallowed by sin
Druggin’ and hatin’ and
Walking with Satan
I have been swallowed by sin

You’re all gonna burn in the fire
You’re all gonna burn in the fire
All you Jezebels
Who have ruined my health
You’re all gonna burn in the fire

And evil souls wait for you
Evil souls they wait
To take you by the hand my dear
And lead you to your grave

Your soul it is smaller than dust
Your soul it is smaller than dust
It might blow away
Or get lost in the rain
Your soul it is smaller than dust

It is not forgiveness I seek
It is not forgiveness I seek
There are things that I’ve seen
No man could dream
It is not forgiveness I seek

And evil souls wait for you
Evil souls they wait
To take you by the hand my dear
And lead you to your grave

Don’t bother praying for me
Don’t bother praying for me
Just push me down
And kick me around
Don’t bother praying for me

’Cause I have been swallowed by sin
I have been swallowed by sin
Druggin’ and hatin’ and
Walking with Satan
I have been swallowed by sin

And evil souls wait for you
Evil souls they wait
To take you by the hand my dear
And lead you to your grave

And evil souls wait for you
Evil souls they wait
To take you by the hand my dear
And lead you to your grave

I will bring you dead flowers
I’ll carry your Bible to church
I’ll be everything that I’m not
Come on over my darling tonight

I know I once was cruel
But all of that has changed
I’m now everything that I’m not
Come on over my darling tonight

God damn! You’re lookin’ so nice
God damn! You’re lookin’ so nice
I need you right now
I need you right here
You
You’re mine

Hoist that skirt above your knee
And comb the demons from your hair
Kiss me with them evil lips
If it’s wrong well I don’t really care

Cause I wanna feel darlin’
I wanna feel like I’m living
One more time
Let me feel like I’m living

It’s like I’m in a wheelchair
And my neck is trapped within a noose
Maybe I’ve had too much booze
Yeah that’s a fucking good excuse

Cause I wanna feel darlin’
I wanna feel like I’m living
One more time
Let me feel like I’m living

That’s my hand upon your leg
Like a fish dead upon the shore
I know it’s hard to look at me
Close your eyes my dear forevermore

Cause I wanna feel darlin’
I wanna feel like I’m living
One more time
Let me feel like I’m living

I hear it whispered real low FEAR
My friends it’s all that I know FEAR
From birth this curse was foretold FEAR

Fear of birth
Fear of death
Fear of gals in shortened dress

There is a man with gold eyes FEAR
His tongue is tattooed with lies FEAR
Witness the birth of the flies FEAR

Fear of birth
Fear of death
Fear of gals in shortened dress

Fear I’m losing control
Fear the spirits call from below
Fear, Fear, Fear

Fear I’ve lost my control
Fear the spirits call from below
Fear, Fear, Fear

My old man he put me in jail
It’s hard
My old man he put me in jail
It’s hard
With the doors all locked and barred
With a big long chain
Tied to the floor
Damn his soul
I’m weak and I’m poor
These are hard times for sure

My darlin’ forgot my name
It’s hard
My darlin’ forgot my name
It’s hard
I was dealt the losing card
Once she came to visit me
Turned away fast as can be
These are hard times for sure

I stole myself some rope today
It’s hard
I stole myself some rope today
It’s hard
My body I’ll discard
And then my soul
Will fly away
Where it’ll go
I don’t dare to say
These are hard times for sure

Things are bound to get better
Someday you’ll be happy
You’re gonna find true love
And start up a family

Bullshit! Fuckin’ bullshit!
Nothin’ ain’t never gonna
Get no better no how

You gotta look on the bright side
Take a walk in the sunshine
The Lord is on your side
And people are good

Bullshit! Fuckin’ bullshit!
Nothin’ ain’t never gonna
Get no better nohow

If it’s gonna rain
Why don’t it fuckin’ rain?
If you’re gonna leave me darlin’
Go and leave

I’m tired of living on nothing
I’m tired of longing for something
Dead dogs in trash cans man!
That’s all I can find

Bullshit! Fuckin’ bullshit!
Nothin’ ain’t never gonna
Get no better nohow

If it’s gonna rain
Why don’t it fuckin’ rain?
If you’re gonna leave me darlin’
Go and leave

I’m not the beast they’ve made me out to be
I’ve done some good things
I’ve done some good things
Like you I have stumbled once or twice
And done some bad things
I’ve done some bad things
My body is a thing corrupt and wrong
It is guilty
Yeah it is guilty
My spirit is the thing that’s dragged along
It is innocent
Lord it is innocent

Oh separate my body from my soul
Oh separate my body from my soul

Let’s go back to how things were back then
When I was younger
When I was younger
Everything was either black or white
It was easier
So much easier
Now everything it looks so gray
I’m older
Now I’m older
Show me a man who deserves to die
You cannot convince me
You cannot convince me
Now show me a man who deserves to live
You have no evidence
You have no evidence

Oh separate my body from my soul
Oh separate my body from my soul

I tried so hard to tell you truth
But lied to you
I have lied to you
The things that you learn and know so well
They are fleeting
Yes they are fleeting
You’re the one who told me who I was
You said you’re no one
So now I’m no one

Oh separate my body from my soul
Oh separate my body from my soul
