Baltimore Blues No. 1

Kiss all your saviors goodbye
Offer them up to the dead
No kidding, you know who's right
And whose got a price on their head

No doubt, I'd sell you all out
For a pocket full of silver and gold
Way back when, when they made me one of them
Don't you know they're gonna save my soul

I can't hang around with you like this, my friend
Out time has come to an end
I can't play around with you no more
No, I'm seeing this open door

And I know you saw right through me
Afraid I'm taking you for a ride
But when you're dead, you're dead
When you're gone, you're gone
I got my conscience at both of my sides

And I set out to disappear
And out there I found a new home
But listen Jack, you're on the wrong side of the tracks
At least now I don't have to walk them all alone

Can you hear the sound of the crawling flesh?
Now can you smell the burning desire?
This place is too small to hide
All them ghosts kicking 'round inside

And what this town was entirely built upon
Find it right between the eyes
Its a bullet hole that'll steal your soul
Roll you for your money and your diamonds

I set out to disappear
And out there I found a new home
But listen Jack, you're one the wrong side of the tracks
But, at least now I don't have to walk it all alone
