Hell's Soup Kitchen Lyrics - Walkabouts

Rolled in the mud 

But I could never come clean 

Counting blessings on my middle finger 

There in the back shed 

Pricing heads to the pound 

Told to shut up, I was only breathin' 

Hell's soup kitchen 

There you're listening now 

Heard you coming 

I heard you deep in the ground 

The job was dizzy on the carnival wheel 

Coins a-flipping a siren's screaming 

Told quit the ride 

And you'll go straight to the dogs 

But dogs they come home 

And dogs they listen 

Hell's soup kitchen 

There you're listening now 

Heard you coming 

I heard you deep in the ground 

And my nerves were wire 

And the shots they fell wide 

Pearls of wisdom dripping from my forehead 

Crawled in a sleeping bag 

And watched them close in 

Tires spitting all my trust to the sky 

Hell's soup kitchen 

There you're listening now 

Heard you coming 

I heard you deep in the ground
