Portugal. The Man Children Lyrics

Burning the blood oil
Salt sugar water pails
Build me black jesus
cause jesus can't save me
Shackles pulling at your hair
Shine me from roots out
Wash me from the neck down
Cut me in the fat stores
Take me to the tree line

I'm a heading down down down
down to the river cause I don't believe in medicine
I'll crawl out shaking pale
Always got the answer I got ears all around me

Burn up in black smoke
Thick and pourin down your throat
Make me of bread walks
Listen up with ears we're diving

Birth me of blood oil
Salt sugar water pails
Build me black jesus
Shackles pulling at your hair
I'm a written page in a giant man
Never sick in bed, so I'll never need their medicine

I'm a headin down down down
down to the river cause I don't believe in medicine
I'll crawl out shakin pale
always got the answer I got ears all around me

Tell your children we got another year comin
Oil stands the legs this body speaks in tongues
and croaks "I'm heading down"

I'll walk down to the river where we met our pails
Filled and spillin like our southern friends
Met that pail atop the rocks and moss
Grass grips licks about our heels and bends

I'm a heading down down down
down to the river cause I don't believe in medicine
When I crawl out I'll be shakin dirt
Never need the answer I got hands all around me

Tell your children we got another year comin
Oil stands the legs this body speaks in tongues
and croaks "I'm heading down"
Tell your children we spent a year in this fire
Copper bands and hells getting lighter
Line up in lines we can only get higher
Tell your children we got another year coming
