kerosene

like an angel bounces off heavens gate
she fell down on her knees and cried
this is an ungodly mistake
she never thought shed ever be denied

and father's eyes went to them all
and all her sisters stare you down
but she's the only one who got her mother's smile
lately you havent seen much of it around

to live on this earth you need two hands
one to crush the weeds that steal your crops
and one to crush your fellow man
and a woman to tell you when to stop

you take the road and make a river
all you needed was some rain
you drift north and drag the darkness
leave behind some kerosene

so she can burn down your fields
and brand the cattle with her smile
and send a smoke signal to the stars
ready to plant some fertile soil
