Everybody Thinks They're The One To Get Away -- Lyrics
I knew a preacher with a tight necked tie,
Shakin' his fist at the folks goin' by,
Saying "Don't you know you're headed
Wonder what they'd do if the people all knew,
That when he get home, he don't take off his shoes
He's headed for the cat house
I knew a killer with a sharp toothed grin,
You look twice, he'll do you in
But he ain't worried; Mama taught him
He'd take a coin, throw it in the well
He'd burn a wick, cast him a spell,
And all the blood on his hands
Everybody thinks they're the one to get away (mhmmhm)
Oh, everybody thinks they're the one to get away (mhmmhm)
I knew a man with a firm handshake,
His name on the doors, his name on the plates
You only live in this town cause he
But he's your friend, and he's mine too,
And he's gonna do what he say he gonna do
It's a shame every promise that he made
But I know time, and I know love
And I can feel both of 'em creepin' up,
Tally's getting mighty tall,
There's a straw gonna break the back
And there's a day we gonna face the facts
Everybody thinks they're the one to get away (mhmmhm)
Yeah, everybody thinks they're the one to get away (mhmmhm)
Hey, there's a devil, there's a devil in the hen house
Hey, there's a man with an axe in his hand, and
Ooh, there's a lover in my bed
Hey, there's a lover, there's a lover in the hen house
Hey, there's a devil with an axe in his hand, and
Oh, there's a man in my bed
Hey, there's a man, there's a man in the hen house
Hey, there's a lover with an axe in her hand, and
Oh, there's a devil in my bed
Cause I knew a preacher with a sharp toothed grin
And I knew a killer with a firm handshake
