I came down with a fever.
The catacombs they were filled.
Lucifer within my larynx.
Clothing us a covered kiss.
Baby set my head on fire.
Every man is born to die.
The captain called me out on the carpet boys. You know I got a tear in my eye.
I have been lost and wandering.
A wanderer I remain. Met Judas in West Texas. Tried to take my name.
Now I am lost and wandering. And wandering I am blind.
Will the moon come off it’s axis, before I lose my mind?
I came down with a sickness.
Pouring down just like rain.
Red red sun in the evening.
Red red heart full of pain
Baby set my head on fire.
Every man is born to die.
The captain called me out on the carpet boys.
You know I got a tear in my eye.
I have been lost and wandering.
A wanderer I remain.
Met Judas in West Texas. Tried to take my name.
Blood is worth much more than money, as a poison crown.
See the snake that bit me honey, is going to take me down.
Now I am lost and wandering. And wandering I am blind.
Will the moon come off it’s axis before I lose my mind?
