Verse 1

  She stepped down from her carriage at 10 Vermillon Street

  I took off my roustabout and slung it to her feet

  We went into her parlor and she cooled me with her fan

  But said i'll go no further with a fantasy makin' man

Verse 2

  I said i'd walk on Ponchatrain for what you have today

  Just to drink from your deep well and i'll be on my way

  She laughed and heaven filled the room said this i give to you

  This body's wisdom is the flesh,but here's a thing or two

Chorus

  Death and hell are never full

  And neither are the eyes of men

  Cats can fly from nine stories high

  And pigs can see the wind

Verse 3

  She let me make my pallet in the moonlight on the floor

  Just outside of paradise but right in hell's back door

  The image of her nibbled at the eye of my soul

  My dreams were a hurricane and quite out of control

Verse 4

  Then her voice came through the storm it's more than flesh i deal

  You will have to pay for any wisdom that you steal

  I awoke to tinted windows and lavender and red

  The first station of the cross is just above my head

  I awoke to gargoyles and a hard bench for my bed

  Jesus Christ and Pontias Pilate were just above my head

Chorus.
