Belladonna Country

Did you ever wonder what you said
Did you ever go to bed hungry and wanting
That damn light keeps blinking and calling
Until you feel the heat
And your body rises
Given way to disease
You suit up in disguise
You've dried up bad and now you're lonely
Give it two weeks

Lay me down upon my face
Into the ground where my body lay
I saw the light and from you, I turned away
I live to see another day
Lay me down upon my face
Where my boney-ones crackle
And feed the flame
The campsit is lit, my hands are warm
From where my ball and chain lie at the end of the night
Lay me down upon my face
Into the ground where my body lay
I saw the light and from you, I turned away
I live to see another day

I see my baby calling to me
She cries out my name in love and misery
And she offers me help and that I've always declined
Inadvertently, I find
And I keep eating the poison
And coughing up lead
Until my lungs are black and my ribs long decayed
Soon enough baby, I'll keel over myself
You offer me help, you offer me love
I might as well take it before I see the doves at the end

Lay me down upon my face
Into the ground where my body lay
I saw the light and from you, I turned away
I live to see another day
Lay me down upon my face
Where my boney-ones crackle
And feed the flame
The campsit is lit, my hands are warm
From where my ball and chain lie at the end of the night
Lay me down upon my face
Into the ground where my body lay
I saw the light and from you, I turned away
I live to see another day
