Deanna lyrics

O DEANNA

O Deanna!

O DEANNA

Sweet Deanna!

O DEANNA

You know you are my friend, yeah

O DEANNA

And I ain’t down here for your money

I ain’t down here for your love

I ain’t down here for you love or money

I’m down here for you soul

No carpet on the floor

And the winding-cloth holds many moths

Around your Ku Klux furniture

I cum a deaths-head in your frock

We discuss the murder pact

We discuss murder and the murder act

Murder takes the wheel of the Cadillac

And death climbs in the back

O DEANNA

This is a car

O DEANNA

This is a gun

O DEANNA

And this a day number one

O DEANNA

Our little crimeworn histories

Black and smoking Xmas trees

And honey, it ain’t a mystery

Why you’re a mystery to me

We will eat out of their pantries

And their parlours

Ashy leavings in their beds

And we’ll unload into their heads

On this mean season

This little angel that I squeezin’

She ain’t been mean to me

O DEANNA

O Deanna!

O DEANNA

You are my friend and my partner

O DEANNA

On this house on the hill

O DEANNA

And I ain’t down here for your money

I ain’t down here for your love

I ain’t down here for your love or money

I’m down here for your soul

O DEANNA

I am a-knocking

O DEANNA

With my toolbox and my stocking

O DEANNA

And I’ll meet you on the corner

O DEANNA

Yes, you point it like a finger

O DEANNA

And squeeze it’s little thing

O DEANNA

Feel it’s kick, hear its bang

And lets not worry about its issue

Don’t worry about where its been

And don’t worry about where it hits

Cause it ain’t yours to sin

O DEANNA

No it just ain’t yours to sin

O DEANNA

Sweet Deanna

O DEANNA

And we ain’t getting any younger

O DEANNA

And I don’t intend gettin’ any older

O DEANNA

The sun a hump at my shoulder

O DEANNA

O Deanna!

O DEANNA

Sweet Deanna

O DEANNA

And I ain’t down here for your money

I ain’t down here for your love

I ain’t down here for your love of money

I’m down here for your soul
