"Shovel In His Hands" lyrics

"Shovel In His Hands"

Two red right hands instead of two left feet
Come up to greet, entice you from your seat
The blood on those hands comes from faraway lands
And just around the corner where the old man stands
Shovel in his hands

This so-called kingdom is hot
Who's gonna bring the rain?
This kitchen's getting even hotter
It's sending us insane

The devil is a crackin' dancer
The one with the ultimate fee
Why don't you save the last one for him
And come with me?
Come with me

His smoke rises from the ground, out towers all around
Lost at sea, he might prefer you drowned
That you were never found

Dressed to kill by starving poor people at will
While manipulating minds with incredible skill
(Skippin' all around, skippin' all around)
He'll grab your tail

This so-called kingdom is hot
Who's gonna bring the rain?
This kitchen's getting even hotter
It's sending us insane

The devil is a crackin' dancer
The one with the ultimate fee
Why don't you save the last dance for him
And come with me?

Heavy on the heart
Heavy takes its toll
Spinning out of time
Am I losing control?

The devil is a crackin' dancer
The one with the ultimate fee
Why don't you save the dance for him
And come with me?

The devil is a crackin' dancer
The one with the ultimate fee
Why don't you save the last one for him
And come with me?

The devil is a crackin' dancer
The one with the ultimate fee
Why don't you save the dance for him
And come with me
And come with me?
