"Union Tombstone" lyrics

"Union Tombstone"
(feat. Beck)

Let's do it
One, two, three, four

You knew from cradle, from the womb
Done lost all dignity, shout through
Hustlers and whores would like to find their mark
Face down and beaten in the dark
Come west in the freezing rain
My mood like stripped down for many days

The kerosene kiss and the rabbit's foot
Are now three thousand miles away
I'm seeing devils in the woods
My best genetic memories
You to yours, I'll go alone
To the union tombstone

Here's to the union tombstone
To the union tombstone

We'll sell the good book to get by
Valet of shadows dark night and dawn
Great greyhound stations in the sky
Free head and heroin in the stone
My kind reap what they sow
Bloodshot eyes and bullet holes

Here's to the union tombstone
To the union tombstone

You knew from cradle, from the womb
Done lost all dignity, shout through
Hustlers and whores would like to find their mark
Face down and beaten in the dark
Come west in the freezing rain
Mood like stripped down for many days

The kerosene kiss and the rabbit's foot
Are now three thousand miles away
I ride demented through the woods
A syphilitic cavalry
Time to reap everything I've sown
Time to go where nobody knows nobody sees

The name on the union tombstone
On the union tombstone

Here's to the union tombstone
To the union tombstone
Here's to the union tombstone
To the union tombstone
