The Snake The Cross The Crown – Hey Jim lyrics

Jaws started droppin' as them crops bowed down to the ground,
And then leaves turned to brown,
Dust a blowin' into town as the people rode out,
Cause they were hungry as hell.
And we just buckled up our belts and our purses,
And had to start biting our nails.
And all of a sudden came a sound like the end of the world.
And then we heard that it was.

Dirt turned to pavement as them hands turned over the dirt,
And then the calluses faded away,
As all them children, they started to work.
And we could hear what they'd say,
But it was static from the T.V.'s havin' its way,
With out god fearin' kids.
And then all of a sudden came a sound like the end of the world.
And then we heard that it was.

Milk from the kitchen just a keeps on a slippin'
Down into my lemonade glass.
And that first truck we ever did,
Buy, keeps a getting a stuck in those vehicle jams.
And that still smug horizon's blowin' smoke,
Like it's bindin' its time while we are makin' its bed.
And then all of a sudden came a sound like the end of the world.
And then we heard that it is.

Hey Jim, whatcha doing with him.
I said I'm giving all my money to the police chief.
