Nine Pin

These clothes you gave me don't fit right

The belt is loose and the noose is tight

I'm drunk, out looking for a fight

I'm soft and heavy as the night

I'm soft and heavy as the night

I've drowned the leagues of thirty men

And I've borne the wrath of each of them

Oh, sugar cane and sugar plum

And the evils of a setting sun

The evils of a setting sun

I'll be your nine-pin, eight ball, seventh day, six pound

Diamond quarter girl

Well, the holy water caught my dress

And I fell down into holiness

O Lazarus here and Lazarus gone

Oh, Lazarus won't you take me home?

Oh, Lazarus won't you take me home?

It poured down from the mouths of babes

Locusts in a land of grey

I am wild-eyed and gone astray

Oh, brother dear, bear me away

Brother dear, bear me away

This is no country for love

This is no country for me

I'll be your nine-pin, eight ball, seventh day, six pound

Diamond quarter girl

I'll be your nine-pin, eight ball, seventh day, six pound

Diamond quarter girl
