lyrics

When you see me coming, I hope you start to shake
Cause every bone in your body is just waiting to break
I’ve been timid and I’ve been too kind
But don’t you think that means you can get away with it this time….

You think I don’t know you? Think I don’t know what you did?
Think your sugar sweet demeanor can keep your motives hid?
Every man in this town will know your sin, they’ll see your soiled soul
As soon as they hear the eerie sound when that death knell starts to toll

I know you think you’ve clever, think you can get away
Cause those lawyers in the courthouse, they know just which words to say
But I don’t need no policeman to tell you you’ve been served
Ain’t a lawman in this whole wide world could give you what you deserve

So when you see me coming, I hope you start to shake
Cause every bone in your body is just waiting to break
I’ve been timid and I’ve been too kind
But don’t you think that means you can get away with it this time….

My uncle’s got a preacher man, says I don’t need to worry about you
Says the lord up in heaven, he knows just what to do
But I’ve tried my hardest and Father I must confess
I think I have found the Lord in a pretty girl’s caress

Now I’ve seen the beauty that this sweet old world has wrought
But when I asked the Lord for vengeance I never found what I sought
So I don’t need to tell you that the Lord ain’t my friend
And anyway he wouldn’t approve of my means to your end….

So when you see me coming, I hope you start to shake
Cause every bone in your body is just waiting to break
I’ve been timid and I’ve been too kind
But don’t you think that means you can get away with it this time.
