lyrics

Hey Mr. Jailer
Lets have some fun
Oh, I’m stuck behind these bars
I’m stuck without a gun
Please Mr. Jailer
Please bring it on

I seen them children playin’
Outside through my window
With a rifle in their arms
And hate in their eyes
Please Mr. Jailer
I’m seeing headlights

You better count your card
You better count ‘em quick
There’s a pistol under the table
And a man with a twitch
Oh Mr. Jailer
I ain’t going with

There’s a war through these walls
That I must attend
Just go down the road
Turn around the bend
Oh Mr. Jailer
I bid you adieu

You can meet me in the brothel
In a year or two
I’ll be playin’ for the whores
And a bottle of booze
Oh Mr. Jailer
Life is up to you

How do you put a man in concrete
When you have never walked a day in his feet
Oh, Mr. Jailer
How does it feel

Do you judge a man by the look in his eye
Or how he swings his hips to the midnight sky
Oh, Mr. Jailer
Do you even know her name
Oh, Mr. Jailer
What a crying shame

Have you ever seen the world Mr. Jailer
Beyond your Cadillac
Do you drive down the road Mr. Jailer
Never looking back

Mr. Jailer do you use
People as your tools
Your going to die
A narcissistic fool

St. Vith

“Conjuring the kind of image-behind-the-veil kaleidoscopic trance of America’s first wave of psychedelic rock bands... St. Vith, forge the acid tones and bluesy stillness of yesteryear, happily searching the universe for that sacred ether of the mystical sixties…” – Christopher J. Harrington (Ithaca Times) ... more
