lyrics

Harvest got the best of me
Fig leaf wearin’ fool under apple tree
Snake in the grass pulling at my pants
Eden lackin’ seasons, gettin’ bland to me
Hallelujah bitters settle the bottom of the cup
The Devil’s drink never seemed tough enough
Stirred me from the garden, water’s running off
Got my head in the hold of aging stocks

Should I disagree then you blunt my teeth
Or send me to the bottom of a deep ravine
I’m asking for a little sweet to blanket the burn
Of the raging wind and fire you’ve sent you sent from your door
Does leather make it better on the bottom or the top
Can the evil see you better with the candles in the dark?
Celebrate the moon before gets too gone
Them still stealing spirits still drunk too much (CHORUS)


Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, now
Got one more tale that you could tell
Well, Its dark outside and the windows tell
There’s a big, bad spirit hanging by the sill
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, now
Tuck me in still that I may run
Cause Its dark outside and the windows tell
There’s a big, bad spirit sitting by the sill

Standing by the fire and I’m feeling kind of cold
Tipped off and pissed off from a few days old
Toss a blanket over bird and he’ll talk no more
Drink the Hallelujah bitters, throw the tip to the lord
And if kingdom come don’t come tonight
I’ll finish the evening when the sun come up
A toast to the heavens and a spill to the earth
Return the hallelujah bitters to the top of the shelf

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, now
Got one more tale that you could tell
Well, Its dark outside and the windows tell
There’s a big, bad spirit hanging by the sill
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, now
Tuck me in still that I may run
Cause Its dark outside and the windows tell
There’s a big, bad spirit sitting by the sill
