[Verse 1]
ShAe stepped down from her carriage at F#m10 Vermillon Street
I tDook off my roustabout and sElung it to her feet
WeA went into her parlor and she cF#mooled me with her fan
But Dsaid i'll go no further with a fEantasy makin' Aman
[Verse 2]
IF# said i'd walk on Ponchatrain for Bwhat you have today
JusEt to drink from your deep well and i'll be on myA way
She lF#aughed and heaven filled the room Bsaid this i give to you
ThisE body's wisdom is the flesh,but here's a thing orA two
[Chorus]
DDeath and Ehell are Dnever fAull
And nDeither are the Eeyes of Amen
CDats can Efly from Dnine stories Ahigh
And pigs can Esee the wDind
[Verse 3]
SAhe let me make my pallet in tF#mhe moonlight on the floor
Just Doutside of paradise but rEight in hell's back door
TAhe image of her nibbled at the F#meye of my soul
My dDreams were a hurricane and quEite out of contrAol
[Verse 4]
ThenF# her voice came through the storm iBt's more than flesh i deal
You Ewill have to pay for any wisdom that you sAteal
I aF#woke to tinted windows and lBavender and red
The fEirst station of the cross is just above my Ahead
I F#awoke to gargoyles and a Bhard bench for my bed
JeEsus Christ and Pontias Pilate were just above my Ahead
[Chorus]
DDeath and Ehell are Dnever fAull
And nDeither are the Eeyes of Amen
CDats can Efly from Dnine stories Ahigh
And pigs can Esee the wDind
