flannery

Just like a dog that's lost his bone
Nothing left but a clock and phone
Love's flower no longer blooms
Four green walls in an empty bedroom

Cracked voice in my drunken head
Telling me I'd be better off dead
Easy to say but hard to do
Besides I won't leave without you

Chicken crows then you ring his neck
Momma Death ain't got no respect
Just like that chicken I'm the walking dead
Over a woman I lost my head

Like a needle in a junkie's arm
Like a blanket keeps a baby warm
Like slop to a Georgia hog
You were to me what sunlight is to fog
Over and over and over again
I dream of what should have been
A sacred trust you did violate

My love for you has turned to hate
