Cloak Of Frogs

I'm sitting at this table I painted a shiny red

With a bowl full of oranges, a candle and a half a cigarette

I turn on the radio watch the tubes begin to glow

And the light flickers with the voice of one who knows



Take me to the river

Wash me in the water

He sings to me, to the fallen (water)

And I hear him singing out



I'm nervous in my skin I feel it has been read (rent)

And the mess that's seeping out

Only the devil could have sent

Wash me in the water

Get rid of the evidence

She is standing on the bank

Prayin' for water to take my breath



Take me to the river

Wash me in the water

He sings to me, to the fallen

And I hear him singing out (say do it now)



My muscles have grown weary dragging this cloak of frogs

(Now mosses have grown where he dragged in his cloak of frogs)

And I cried when the deal was struck

Oh please no gun

For I am a murderer hidden in a gasoline shroud

You were my healer you were my match

I was gonna burn this damn thing down
