It’s hot outside
And the moon is shinin’ down upon my face
It’s hot outside
And the moon is shining down upon this blade
My hand grips fast
To the dry wooden handle by my side
My pitchfork glints a rusty smile.
I’m gonna hang your bones on the wall
And right before your last breaths out
Right before I take you down
Down down down down
I drink your whisky down.
Put my bottle down
Stumble cross the porch way and down the stairs
Through the pines for the hundredth time
You won’t know
That I’ve been here watching you tonight
It’s gonna be a last goodbye
The taste of blood is mighty fine
Tell me who is next in line.
Down down down down
I drink your whisky down
I’m gonna hang your bones on the wall
And right before your last breaths out
Right before I take you down
Down down down down
I drink your whisky down.
