Tragedy's A-comin' Lyrics - Green Naugahyde - Primus

Tragedy's A' Comin' 

And I cannot step aside 

No I cannot step aside 

There's no place to run and hide 

Tragedy's A' Comin' 

And I cannot step aside 

No I cannot step aside 

Damn my bastard pride 

From the middle of nowhere 

He rides it all alone 

From the edges of somewhere 

He's grindin' flesh and bone 

From the fringes of darkness 

He breathes a steady hand 

And the tinges of poison 

Come seeping from his glands

Tragedy's A' Comin' 

And I cannot step aside 

No I cannot step aside 

There's no place to run and hide 

Tragedy's A' Comin' 

And I cannot step aside 

No I cannot step aside 

Damn my bastard pride 

If you ask him nicely 

Perhaps he'll go away 

Just move politely 

And beg him not to stay 

With a mouth full of garbage 

He spits into your eye 

And an ear full of pity 

He'll teach you how to die

Tragedy's A' Comin' 

And I cannot step aside 

No I cannot step aside 

There's no place to run and hide 

Tragedy's A' Comin' 

And I cannot step aside 

No I cannot step aside 

Goddamn my bastard pride 

She stands before us 

With a Bible in her grasp 

When she opens her mouth up 

You can hear the wretched rasp 

Like a bucket of barnacles 

She's abrasive to the skin 

Like the ignorant masses 

That hope someday she'll win 

Tragedy's A' Comin' 

And I cannot step aside 

No I cannot step aside 

There's no place to run and hide 

Tragedy's A' Comin' 

And I cannot step aside 

No I cannot step aside 

Damn my bastard pride 

Tragedy's poundin' 

Hard against your door 

And the cancer's eating 

At your inner core 

And you're feeling helpless 

Can't control the game 

Do you fade away softly 

Or go out in a ball of flames 'cause 

Tragedy's A' Comin' 

And I cannot step aside 

No I cannot step aside 

There's no place to run and hide 

Tragedy's A' Comin' 

And I cannot step aside 

No I cannot step aside 

Damn this bastard pride
