Seven's in the Middle, Son

歌詞

Made a deal with a strange man, he could deal his deck with either hand Winked at me and he said goodbye Then he switched his patch to the other eye So I did my best to play my song, but he stopped me before too long Took my guitar off my lap, tuned it up and then he gave it back Rise and shine, and give god the glory, glory Rise and shine, and give god the glory Wrapped himself in an overcoat, silver necklace 'round his throat Rattlin' keychain in his pants, sounded like bones when he danced So I faced myself in the mirror glass, swear to god I heard him laugh Felt his name rise in my gut, seven years of bad luck Rise and shine, and give god the glory, glory Rise and shine, and give god the glory He said "seven's in the middle, son, so pick a side and ride that one" Like jewels hangin' on a vine, it's a pendulum that's drowning time So I lay my head down window-side, neon lights like a reaper's bride Tried to sleep beneath the black, of the space behind that devil's patch Rise and shine, and give god the glory, glory Rise and shine, and give god the glory He put a shiver in my soul, shook my hand and froze it cold Walked me 'round that endless shore, till I knew I'd never been before Now I hear him singin' from the road It's a children's song he knows I know I lay myself down on the ground, emptied both my ears of sound Rise and shine, and give god the glory, glory Rise and shine, and give god the glory
