Deliver me

I don't believe in heaven in the winter
I don't believe in winter in the fall
I beat my temples just to see them splintered
I tear the wings off flies just to see them crawling
Down, down through the gravel and the mud
Where a rope can't knot and a soap can't sud
St. Peter's on a smoke break, the devil's dressed in silk
And you always eat the mother after drinking her milk

I don't believe my I's are ever dotted
I don't believe my t's are ever crossed
I stick it in because I see it slotted
I kick it in the ribs to have it turning and tossing
Down, down through the weeds and the rain
Where a man can't lie and a woman can't faint
St. Peter's on a smoke break, the devil's dressed in silk
And you always eat the mother after drinking her milk

Deliver me, doctor deliver me
Doctor, deliver me from this world

I don't believe in happily or in after
I don't believe in dreams I can't recall
I never got invited to the afters
I never got why sinners never see themselves falling
Down, down through the fire and the smoke
Where a leg can't set and an egg can't yolk
St. Peter's on a smoke break, the devil's dressed in silk
And you always eat the mother after drinking her milk

Deliver me, doctor deliver me
Doctor, deliver me from this world
Deliver me, deliver me from this world
