Chris Whitley

Everything is silent
Night upon the rocks
I'm over by the roadhouse
With them rusted engine blocks

A ghost town with a gold mine
A pick axe in my head
I'm beggin', mama, please move over
Kick them stones out of my bed

I met my sister Sandra
With them jewels and the cross
Eyes on my lever now
She paint with chili sauce

I cannot do no business
With your candle lit in red
I'm beggin', mama, please move over
Kick them stones out of my bed

Kick them stones out of my bed
[Incomprehensible] them stones out of my bed
I'm beggin', mama, please move over

Take you in my belly
Sure as night is black
I take you for religion
Like the skin across my back

When I'm buried in your thighs girl
I could understand
You gotta tell me just for once now
You ain't got no other plan

You ain't got no other plan
You gotta tell me just for once sister
You ain't got no other man

So meet me at the junction
I'll buy you one last 'round
Let me in on something
Before I leave this town

Well, we used to have a password, girl
And now I can't recall
You gotta tell me was it love
Or some high grade alcohol

Some high grade alcohol
You gotta tell me was it love
Or some high grade alcohol

Kick them stones out of my bed
[Incomprehensible] stones out of my bed
I'm begging, mama, please move over

As the party closes
I ain't got a clue
Red and yellow roses
Nipple rings and tattoos

Well, I never met no girl
No one, no where
I never met no girl
Narcotic prayer

If I seen her breathing
How could I adjust
Should I see her bleeding
Calling me in trust

Well, I never met no girl
No one, no where
Narcotic prayer

I copped and caught a movie
But you know it can't last
Lights come up
And I just crashed

I ain't got no pride in my pants
I ain't got no poise or plans
Hear me out with your hands

It's nothing major, sister
I can't get off
Yeah, nothing major

I ain't got no acid love
Ain't got no problem to solve
I'm doing my best to dissolve

Well, it's nothing major, sister
I can't get off
I can't hang out, sister
I can't get off

I been watching it go by
Well, I been gone so long
[Incomprehensible]

Entertain religion of law
Slave morality and the norm
You know it
I'm doing my best to conform

Well, it's nothing major, sister
I can't get off
It's nothing major, sister
I can't get off

But I been watching it go by
Well, I been gone so long
I want to hear the new word now, now, now

I been watching it
I been watching it go by
I been gone so long
I want to hear the new word now, now
I can't get off
