Sundown Betty

Two thousand steps into the woods
Passed skeletons of hemlock trees
Laughter, music, windows' glow
From the house of Sundown Betty

Bodies dancing deep inside
Bottles, knives and wickedry
Strings distort truths and lies
Gasoline electricity

We bend but we never ever almost never break
Breathe before we're baptized deep into the lake
Pray but never never almost never beg
We church all through the night
At Sundown Betty's

We're dancing for the happy
We're dancing for the sad
Dancing since we got here
To scare away the bad

Bend but we never never almost never break
Breathe before we're baptized down by the lake
Pray but never never almost never beg
We church all through the night
At Sundown Betty's

An hour before the sunrise
Betty begins her dance
Eyes rolled back she grinds and bends
In ancient hypnotic trance
That shack becomes a temple
No devil dares advance
It's a weekly exorcism
In sublime divine romance

We're dancing for the happy
We're dancing for the sad
Been dancing since the babies were born
To scare away the bad

Bend but we never never almost never break
Breathe before we're baptized our bodies in the lake
Pray but never never almost never beg
We church all through the night

Bend but we never never almost never break
Breathe before we're baptized our down into the lake
Pray but never never almost never beg
We church all through the night
At Sundown Betty's
