Walkabouts - Hell's Soup Kitchen lyrics

rate me

Rolled in the mud

Rolled in the mud

But I could never come clean

But I could never come clean

Counting blessings on my middle finger

Counting blessings on my middle finger

There in the back shed

There in the back shed

Pricing heads to the pound

Pricing heads to the pound

Told to shut upI was only breathin'

Told to shut upI was only breathin'

Hell's soup kitchen

Hell's soup kitchen

There you're listening now

There you're listening now

Heard you coming

Heard you coming

I heard you deep in the ground

I heard you deep in the ground

The job was dizzy on the carnival wheel

The job was dizzy on the carnival wheel

Coins a-flipping a siren's screaming

Coins a-flipping a siren's screaming

Told quit the ride

Told quit the ride

And you'll go straight to the dogs

And you'll go straight to the dogs

But dogs they come home

But dogs they come home

And dogs they listen

And dogs they listen

Hell's soup kitchen

Hell's soup kitchen

There you're listening now

There you're listening now

Heard you coming

Heard you coming

I heard you deep in the ground

I heard you deep in the ground

And my nerves were wire

And my nerves were wire

And the shots they fell wide

And the shots they fell wide

Pearls of wisdom dripping from my forehead

Pearls of wisdom dripping from my forehead

Crawled in a sleeping bag

Crawled in a sleeping bag

And watched them close in

And watched them close in

Tires spitting all my trust to the sky

Tires spitting all my trust to the sky

Hell's soup kitchen

Hell's soup kitchen

There you're listening now

There you're listening now

Heard you coming

Heard you coming

I heard you deep in the ground

I heard you deep in the ground
