Spark Plug Rain

(Mat d.)

January 16, 2009

demolition brother got to show me the sign
curvy little number down the red dirt line
Moses in the desert gonna chase that snake
putting one hand on the throttle and a foot on the brake

Sister put the poison in the pine tar soap
drug her down the highway with a hangman's rope
sent her to the bottom with an old jawbone
left her sleeping on the shoulder where the cold wind moans
Moses in the desert gonna chase that snake
one hand on the throttle and a foot on the brake
Moses in the desert gonna swing them chains
calling down the lightning and the thunder in the spark plug rain

Sister poured the sugar in a wide mouthed jar
rode it to the river on a railroad car
down into the water where the converts twitch
left her body in the river and the suger in the ditch
Moses in the valley gonna lift you high
both hands on you sister til the well runs dry
Moses in the river gonna speak that name
calling down the lightning and the thunder in the spark plug rain
Moses in the desert gonna chase that snake
one hand on the throttle and a foot on the brake
Moses in the desert gonna swing them chains
calling down the lightning and the thunder in the spark plug rain
