Devil Town - The Builders and the Butchers

There’s a moon-shaped hole in the night sky

A forest fire and a murder bright across the wire

Some are beaten some are burned and hanged and drowned

Keep your eyes to the sky and your ears to the ground

And take me down

Take me down

We’ll build ourselves a home

Outta muscle, blood and the broken bones

In the Devil town

And the eyes stolen jewelry in the night

And a heart’s as dark as a coal mine

and I think that I’ll be comin' round

Keep your eyes to the sky and your ears to the ground

And take me down

Take me down

We’ll build ourselves a home

Outta muscle, blood and the broken bones

In the Devil town

Batten down the tracks of a wooden veil

Lost a sea in a sinking ship with a rotted sail

You’re tied up to the cross because your life ain’t worth the nail

And the vines they ever reach across the ground

And the branches in the trees they bend to make a crown

And the vines they ever reach across the ground

And the branches in the trees they bend to make a crown

And the vines they ever reach across the ground

And the branches in the trees they bend to make a crown

And take me down

Take me down

We’ll build ourselves a home

Outta muscle, blood and the broken bones

In the Devil town

In the Devil town

In the Devil town
