Danielle Dax - Big Hollow Man lyrics

rate me

Chorus

Hey yeah, walking in the valley of decision

Hey yeah, reap all the wages of sin

A big hollow man

With a fistful of sham

Came a-walking across the sea

All leathery charms

As he pinwheeled his arms

And directed his gaze at me

(He said)

God will provide the way

You read about it every day

(I'm telling ya)

All you gotta do is pray

And furnish his house with silver

(Chorus)

Liberty's daughter

Well primed for the slaughter

A space where her brains had been

All ribbons and curls

She's a good hearted girl

Broken by what she had seen

(She says)

Daddy don't you go away

Stay with me and we can play

(I'm begging ya)

Do it just like yesterday

And I can go home to Jesus

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

A regular Joe

Who had nowhere to go

A space where his home had been

A bombing religion

A blight on the region

To fuel a pious dream

(And they said)

God will provide the way

You read about it every day

(I'm telling ya)

All you gotta do is pray

And furnish his house with silver

(Chorus)
