The salt of my earth leaves me dry
The lead from my mouth drags me down


"Meet me in the valley of shadows"
Find me in my dust
Save me from 100 diversions

Pull me from my rut

The glass in my eye bends my view

The bug in my ear drowns me out

Heal me in my hour of failing

Love me in my dirt
Hang me on the rack of my actions
Dry me to the bone


When I'm tempted, delightful!
Beaten, a fistful! Broken but lethal!

Blinded and see through!
Standing and pointing the meter ticks on...


Fly king in seamless suit, recognize the cloven boot
Tailored partition in a barber chair
With fire and tar he'll comb your hair


100 pieces turn, heel and shoot
100 diversions libido loot

100 poisons, pick your lot
100 fancies to tickle your spot


The flaw of my smile is outside in
The twist of my arm spends my day
