Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can live with God and with suicide
The same thing holds if I close my eyes
It's a truth so pure it can kill you dead
A taste of heaven mixed with hell
Inside of my head
[Verse 2]
If a threefold chord can ignite a flame
And a girl like you can forget my name
Then I'm that far gone up this crooked grade
With a pistol for my creature and a feather for my day
[Verse 3]
Oh, ah, ah, ah
Oh, ah, ah, ah
Oh, ah, ah, ah
[Verse 4]
When I took her down in a rain of toil
With a hand in my satchel and my knees in the soil
I will live with God and with suicide
My lover and her calico, a pony stands at her side
[Verse 5]
Oh, ah, ah, ah
Oh, ah, ah, ah
Oh, ah, ah, oh
Oh, ah, ah, ah
Oh, ah, ah, ah
[Verse 6]
I can live with God and with suicide
The same thing holds if I close my eyes
It's a truth so pure it can kill you dead
A taste of heaven mixed with hell
Inside of my head
[Verse 7]
Oh, ah, ah, oh
