[Intro]
âAnd loâthe sky split wide, not with light⌠but with the hiss of propane and the fury of the damned.â
[chorus]
White smoke risinâ out the double-wide chimney
Preachinâ to the woods, fulla ghosts and the guilty
Shadows in the yard, all twitchinâ from the sickness
This ainât salvationâitâs red-eyed business
White smoke risinâ, buzzinâ in the pine
Backwoods sermon with a bottle and a line
Speakinâ in tongues through a meth-head vision
Ainât no God here, just broke transmissions
[Verse 1]
Hood up, mask on, soul full of static
Hands like gravel, moves automatic
Old Bessie in the lot got wires all twistinâ
Trap door under the rug where I do my mixinâ
Maâs in the kitchen, eyes like glass
Laughinâ at the walls while the spirits pass
I heard a baby cry, but we ainât got none
Just the echo of the devil and a sawed-off g*n
Tarp on the floor, b***d like paint
Sheriff drove by, but he sure as hell ainât
Knockinâ on this doorâhe know whatâs brewinâ
This a trailer park chapel, and the Lord ainât movinâ
[chorus]
White smoke risinâ out the double-wide chimney
Preachinâ to the woods, fulla ghosts and the guilty
Shadows in the yard, all twitchinâ from the sickness
This ainât salvationâitâs red-eyed business
White smoke risinâ, buzzinâ in the pine
Backwoods sermon with a bottle and a line
Speakinâ in tongues through a meth-head vision
Ainât no God here, just broke transmissions
[Verse 2]
Granny got a cross made of bent coat hangers
Talks to the flames like they kinfolk strangers
Every Sunday, we light up the pit
Not for barbecueâjust to melt that hit
I donât need no choir, I got coyotes
Singinâ me to sleep while the fumes get floaty
Ainât no rapture, just a junkyard hymn
With a cracked-out angel and a needle-thin grin
D**d raccoon hanginâ off the clothesline pole
Cousin say he talk, but he ainât got no soul
We donât do confession, just shotgun shells
Line âem up cleanâsend our sins to hell
[chorus]
White smoke risinâ out the double-wide chimney
Preachinâ to the woods, fulla ghosts and the guilty
Shadows in the yard, all twitchinâ from the sickness
This ainât salvationâitâs red-eyed business
White smoke risinâ, buzzinâ in the pine
Backwoods sermon with a bottle and a line
Speakinâ in tongues through a meth-head vision
Ainât no God here, just broke transmissions
Just broke transmissions⌠just broke⌠transmissionsâŚ
[Outro ]
âAnd He said unto them: bury the truth beneath the ash, and dance in the fumes of your undoingâŚâ
[outro]
âBrothers ân sisters, the fire comes not from heaven⌠but from the barrel of a rusted tank and the hands of the damnedâcan I get a huff?â
