Grave Robber's Daughter

There's a line I've been in since late afternoon

It heads down south on the avenue

I listen to the talkin' from the saint in the front

And he's looking down the barrel of a loaded gun

I'm sittin' in a room with the man upstairs

He's paying more attention to the woman over there

I don't ask a lot, and I barely say a thing

But my hands don't go together, and I don't wear a ring

Put the well in the dime

And the fire in the water

I'm in a town with no sinners

And a grave robber's daughter

The woman in a dress down to her knees

Wants to please her mother, has two sugars in her tea

She told me all the secrets, what she has in her side

And she told me what she does before she sleeps at night

Put the well in the dime

And the fire in the water

I'm in a town with no sinners

And a grave robber's daughter

Served by a boy, waitin' for five

He wakes on a Sunday to base his life

On a book he's never read, with a girl he barely knows

And he's never seein' her bed till the deal is closed

Put the well in the dime

And the fire in the water

I'm in a town with no sinners

And a grave robber's daughter

Put the well in the dime

And the fire in the water

I'm in a town with no sinners

And a grave robber's daughter
