The Straighten Outer - Grant-Lee Phillips

Thunder on the mountain terrace

Lightning in the sky

Hammer of the straighten outer

Working overtime

And all the world’s a rattle snake

Waiting to unwind

And all the world needs setting straight

In his crooked mind

Birds are breathing circle over

Black winged birds

Smithy of the straighten outer

Hammer out the curbs

Volley of the straighten outer

Make the ravens laugh

Nature, she got all the power

He will never have

The thunder of the straighten outer

Sparking up the sky

Hammer of the straighten outer

Working overtime

And all the world’s a rattle snake

Waiting to unwind

And all the world needs setting straight

In his crooked mind

Story of the straighten outer

Story of the straighten outer

Volley of the straighten outer

Um um straighten outer
