Band: Woodbox Gang
VERSE 1
[E]You're a woman that[G#]'s what you say
[A]I say you work in mys[B]terious ways
I'[F#m]m on my knees ever[B]y other day
[A] [E]
VERSE 2
I was born with shoes and a long sleeve shirt
Straight into the barn where the hoof prints hurt
But I was twelve years old before I said a dirty word
VERSE 3
I drink my coffee straight from the tap
No cream no sugar I take it black
No bread no wine he can have it back
VERSE 4
I was dreaming about the time I caught a nasty influenza
My head was hot and melting causing mass hallucinations
There were people on the ceiling screaming 'Lead in wrong directions'
VERSE 5
You're a woman that's what you say
I say you work in mysterious ways
I scream your name in vain they say
VERSE 6
I was born with boots and a half hidden tail
With a sprout of mistletoe peaking through the scales
I was 21 before I spent the Sabbath in jail
VERSE 7
I drink my Koolaid down like poison
Raise my glass to all the other children
With his blood we'll meet our mothers in heaven
VERSE 8
I was killing every brain cell with a cleaner for the kitchen
In the hopes I'd be too blind to see the depth of my depression
Somebody saved my life posed as a kitchen cleaner salesman
VERSE 9
You're a woman that's what you say
I say you work in mysterious ways
One look at you and I've turned gray
VERSE 10
I was born with cleats and a pocketknife
I traded my cleats for a secondhand wife
I traded true love for eternal life
VERSE 11
I drink my whiskey straight from the source
It blows my brain and it rips my voice
But I'd drown in that river if I had the choice
VERSE 12
I was killing every brain cell with a paper bag addiction
The vapors of adhesion take away my dark condition
I danced across the ceiling without shame or inhibition
