lyrics

I want them buried and buried alive.
I want them buried and buried alive.
I cannot stay up with these guys today.
I cannot keep up with my name in the street light spying on the cars in the driveway.
I cannot keep up with my own good name.

Down to the delta, those southern blues.
Oh, I wouldn’t write them without telling you.
Walk south, but look north, and hide your feet.
Oh, why would you tell me without telling me?

I want them buried and buried alive.
I want them buried and buried alive.
I just can’t live with this disguise, no way.
Quit playing ghost town and running away to the front porch, saying that you’re high when you’re hiding.
Quit playing ghost town, and don’t you lie to me.

Down to the delta, those southern blues.
Oh, I wouldn’t write them without telling you.
Walk south, but look north, and hide your feet.
Oh, why would you tell me without telling me?

I want to wake up and see my friends.
I want to wake up and see my friends.
I want to play in the room with the mannequin.
I need to find that magic touch in my fingers so I’ll pull the strings in the right way.
I need to push this pencil all for me.

Down to the delta, those southern blues.
Oh, I wouldn’t write them without telling you.
Walk south, but look north, and hide your feet.
Oh, why would you tell me without telling me?
