The Beautiful Dirt - Jerry Joseph, Jerry Joseph & The Jackmormons

I think I’ll head down to the disco

Do the mambo with the chicks

with dicks

Because you’re never too old or

too dead

To learn a couple new tricks

It’s the Year of the Maggot

It’s the Year of the Flood

Give a little money

Give a little blood

This is the part where they cut

out your heart

And they feed it to the Spirit of

the Snake

Put your back teeth in a rattle

So the princess, she can do her

serpent shake

It’s the Year of the Lion

It’s the Year of the Dog

Take one for the team

And satisfy the gods

My, my, my baby, I’m so happy

I will love you until it hurts

Swear you’re going to be my baby

Lie down here with me in the

beautiful dirt

I saw your momma, she was

holding up the local pharmacy

You better learn to tango

because your supper, it won’t

cook itself for free

I saw your Jesus, he was out

there, he was begging in the streets

He keeps dying for your sins,

but your sins won’t buy him

anything to eat

It’s the Year of the Viper

It’s the Year of the Lord

But you’re keeping all the candy

While we’re diving on your

sword again

My, my, my baby, I’m so happy

I will love you until it hurts

Swear you’re going to be my baby

Lie down here with me in the

beautiful dirt

In the beautiful dirt

In the beautiful dirt

I swear I saw your Noah in a

panic at the zoo

With his dart gun and a safety

net he’s rounding up the

monkeys two by two

This is the Year of the Horse

And there’s terror in his eyes

Better build a bigger boat

Because the water is going

to rise

I saw Madonna and her baby,

they were locked out of the gates

Seems the guards have bought

a rock the size of Egypt, so the

King of Kings can wait

It’s the Year of the Dragon

Pulling apples from the vine

Everyone forgets you

Once the water is turned to wine

My, my, my baby, I’m so happy

I’ll be dancing until it hurts

Swear you’re going to be my baby

Lie down here with me

My, my, my baby, I’m so happy

I will show you what you’re

worth

Swear you’re going to be my baby

Lie down here with me

My, my, my baby, I’m so happy

I will love you until it hurts

Swear you’re going to be my baby

Lie down here with me

Lie down here with me in the

beautiful dirt

In the sacramental, in the levity dirt

In the beautiful dirt
