lyrics

The preacher played a mean guitar
A twisted cross of rusted string
With a bed and a bible and two kneelin’ bones
A red switchblade and a Silvertone

A skeleton girl in a Memphis motel
Where the shoes hang off the power line
Eddie paid for her cigarettes and he paid for the room
While the sun chased around the moon

It’s a long hard fall from the prison floor
They give you forty-four dollars and a change of clothes

With his tin foil ring, with his puppet mouth
He swore that they’d marry when she got out
Now poor Eddie, poor Eddie, he pours her a drink
The Ford’s burned in the parking lot, she smells like gasoline
