  37 Like the lion tears the flesh off of a man

  39 So can a woman who passes herself off as a male

  45 It's like the earth just opened and swallowed him up

  62 Hear ya got a brother named James, don't forget faces or names
  63 Sunken cheeks and his blood is mixed
  64 He looked straight into the sun and said revenge is mine
  65 But he drinks, and drinks can be fixed
  66 Sing me one more song, about ya love me to the moon and the stranger
  67 And your fall by the sword love affair with Erroll Flynn
  68 in these times of compassion when conformity's in fashion
  69 Say one more stupid thing to me before the final nail is driven in.

  78 There's a retired businessman named Red, cast down from heaven and he's out of his head
  79 He feeds off of everyone that he can touch
  80 He said he only deals in cash or sells tickets to a plane crash
  81 He's not somebody that you play around with much
  82 Miss Delilah is his, a Philistine is what she is
  83 She'll do wondrous works with your fate
  84 Feed you coconut bread, spice buns in your bed
  85 If you don't mind sleepin' with your head face down in a grave.

  94 Well they'll choose a man for you to meet tonight
  95 You'll play the fool and learn how to walk through doors
  96 How to enter into the gates of paradise
  97 No, how to carry a burden too heavy to be yours
  98 Yeah, from the stage they'll be tryin' to get water outta rocks
  99 A whore will pass the hat, collect a hundred grand and say thanks
 100 They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in
 101 Sing &quot;Amazing Grace&quot; all the way to the Swiss banks

 110 They got some beautiful people out there, man
 111 They can be a terror to your mind and show you how to hold your tongue
 112 They got mystery written all over their forehead
 113 They kill babies in the crib and say only the good die young
 114 They don't believe in mercy
 115 Judgment on them is something that you'll never see
 116 They can exalt you up or bring you down main route
 117 Turn you into anything that they want you to be

 126 Yes, I guess I loved him too
 127 I can still see him in my mind climbin' that hill
 128 Did he make it to the top, well he probably did and dropped
 129 Struck down by the strength of the will
 130 Ain't nothin' left here partner, just the dust of a plague that has left this whole town afraid
 131 From now on, this'll be where you're from
 132 Let the dead bury the dead. Your time will come
 133 Let hot iron blow as he raised the shade
