[00:00]Black Wings
[00:05.74] (Tom Waits/K. Brennan)
[00:06.38]
[00:06.77] Take an eye for an eye
[00:10.40] Take a tooth for a tooth
[00:13.09] Just like they say in the Bible
[00:18.40] Never leave a trace or forget a face
[00:24.38] Of any man at the table
[00:29.25] Any man at the table
[00:32.75]
[00:33.32] When the moon is a cold chiseled dagger
[00:40.40] And it's sharp enough to draw blood from a stone
[00:47.80] He rides through your dreams on a coach
[00:50.96] And horses and the fence posts
[00:54.96] In the midnight look like bones
[00:58.90]
[01:00.09] Well they've stopped trying to hold him
[01:03.53] With mortar, stone and chain
[01:07.42] He broke out of every prison
[01:11.03] Well boots mount the staircase
[01:14.78] The door is flung back open
[01:18.16] He's not there for he has risen
[01:23.09] He's not there for he has risen
[01:26.53]
[01:27.69] Well he once killed a man with a guitar string
[01:34.18] He's been seen at the table with kings
[01:40.66] Well he once saved a baby from drowning
[01:47.12] There are those who say beneath his coat there are wings
[01:53.20]
[01:53.85] Some say they fear him
[01:57.59]
[02:48.35] Some say they fear him
[02:51.56] Others admire him
[02:54.04] Because he steals his promise
[02:58.85] One look in his eye
[03:02.60] Everyone denies
[03:06.26] Ever having met him
[03:10.17] Ever having met him
[03:13.98]
[03:14.86] He can turn himself into a stranger
[03:21.67] Well they broke a lot of canes on his hide
[03:28.17] he was born away in a cornfield
[03:34.61] A fever beats in his head like a drum inside
[03:41.64]
[03:41.87] Some say they fear him
[03:45.36] Others admire him
[03:48.48] Because he steals his promise
[03:52.17] One look in his eye
[03:56.23] Everyone denies
[03:59.76] Ever having met him
[04:02.84] Ever having met him
[04:06.42] Ever having met him
[04:09.42] Ever having met him
[04:12.61] Ever having met him
[04:16.64] Ever having met him
[04:23.58]
