Chorus And The Ring Lyrics

    Hey there now young Willy
    Swing alone, quote the scriptures
    Keep them guessing which bed you crawled from
    Justify, just deny
    Was it fun?
    Your time has come
    What have you done?
    What have you done?

    That's when the insults start to sting
    You can't remember anything
    The chorus chiming
    Every chorus the machine of god
    Is singin'.

    It's the poison that it measures
    Brings illuminating vision
    It's the knowing with a wink
    That we expect in Southern women
    It's the wolf that knows which sheep to dip to save itself
    It's the octopus that crawled back to the sea.

    That's when the insults start to sting
    You can't remember anything
    The chorus chiming
    Every chorus the machine of god
    Hey.....

    Hammered shooting plywood in the backyard
    Laughin' 'cause the racket makes the blackbird sing
    Like the holy terror
    Suck the marrow from the bone
    Singe, you're always burning books
    You got the chorus and the ring

    That's when the insults start to sting
    You can't remember anything
    The chorus chiming
    Every chorus the machine sings.

    That's when the insults start to sting
    You can't remember anything
    The chorus chiming
    Every chorus the machine sings.

    That's when the calibration brittle
    As a stick hits you, the gold ring and the time museum
    Cheaper than a link of gold rings
    Gold ring.

    Sing, sing, sing, sing.
