Verse
Bought the old farmland for a song
Sold it for many reasons
Too many of them wrong
Horseshoe bets and the women that came along
Blind-drunk on their demon rum
Verse
Is knowledge a product of his loneliness
A mad cousin to his holiness
Maniacs in cages
And patriots and sages
A cruel old/on telling of the books
Refrain
But I'll not give
Myself, to the ground
I kill more than I
Live so slowly
Live so slowly
Bridge
Verse
Say one thing and then do another
Bunker down in your alsatian den
We 'aint got room for your politics here
Politicians make a bad name for the con-man
Verse
And water felt like burning metal
Set off by a dying sun
Them women they circle
Like covered wagons crying
Their loved ones back from where they, gone
Refrain
And I'll not give
Myself to the ground
I kill more than I
Live so slowly
Live so slowly
