Born Sandy Devotional, such a sweet girl to me I do what I can now to love her to dust For dust is what we all shall be Born Sandy Devotional, all that I ever knew I don't know the wrong of that, I don't know the good Sticks like hot tar to the sole of my shoe To the sole of my shoe...
On yellow hood of her car with salt knots in her hair Got some cards and some chicken, and beer We kiss until, kiss until she has to leave We're Born Sandy Devotional, all that I ever knew I don't know the wrong of that, I don't know the good Both of them ugly, both of them true
Now I don't want to hear no gossip or chat, No Bill or Pete, Kevin or Sam 'Cause they were just boys and they don't mean a thing Burn up in my spit like the fat in the pan Born Sandy Devotional, born under all-sunless sky. Yes, born to be Sandy's confessional Burnin' like fat to be trapped in her eyes
Now we go for a swim and we wash it all off And hope that it leaves us alone But with each fresh kiss, blood wells up again Dries on top of skin and eats into the bone Oh, Born Sandy Devotional, bound for an all-godless star. Headed for trouble, and looking for grief Found Sandy Devotional, feather-and-tarred Born Sandy Devotional, bound for an all-godless star. Heading for trouble, and looking for grief Found Sandy Devotional, feather-and-tarred Yeah, feather-and-tarred.
Feather-and-tarred... feather-and-tarred... Feather-and-tarred... feather-and-tarred...
