Hell Town Lyrics & Tabs by Adrian Niles Band
Hell Town
guitar chords lyrics
Stranded in the rain, on a Sunday morning, with a fist full of rage and a cold cough, I was playing a dealt hand, no deceit' no cheatin', I was doing alright, until the talking started*
The drinks were flying free, the woman were out for the money, but the sin around here ain't lust, it's the desire for gluttony, it's just another dirty trail that leads to another worn out heart... In Hell town
Comin' in from the coast, through a pale horizon, a wild horse called lightnin', carrying a ghost rider, he was once a trusted companion who fell on a loosing streak... In Hell town
Gotta leave before the sun sets, before the road gets dark, before the bellow of Broadway gets too strong to deny, these demons ‘ll pull you in, with guitars, drink and women, they got faces like a callous but bodies so fine
Well their beds are filled with soft feather, until the hurting starts when they lock you in a room and wanna call it love, it's just another confiscation, just another lost soul... In Hell town
Me, I'm longing for the mountain, for the sweet dew, for the red sky morning, with no pain pushing through, instead I'm on this working line, earning more than what I'm given... In Hell town
You gotta know when your time is ticking out, when it's running toward the ledge, with no regret or fear to slow it down, wouldn't that be something if it did? With these jealous eyes upon me, looking for any reason to fight, I think it's time I follow time
The mission bells toll, for all the branded souls, who claim land grants in paradise with fertile soil and deep wells, but it's just another hot dry day and just another failing year... In Hell town
Whored and hollowed out, bartering with the Lord, like a killer on his death bed, pleading with tears for joy, saying, "How long till this is over and what did you expect from me... In Hell town"?
