Clutch - Opossum Minister lyrics

I met a lady down in Prathertown
Two rocking chairs she said take a seat boy
And I’ll treat you fair
Snake charmers cold infidels
Get a running start
Pick up the pieces in the
Graveyard and unbury my heart

The wolf howls at midnight
The rooster at the dawn
Opossum minister where you been so long?

Montgomery Village kids
You just look like the type
You sure you want to know the
Mysteries? You’re but a trifling height
Families in their den, staring at the box
Opossum minister hen done killed the fox

Eyes like clouds know you stare
Count the minutes by the rocking of chairs

Prathertown unincorporated
May you stay far unrelated to the
Wicked ways of Montgomery Village
There’s a darkness deep in their eyes
As if the sun don’t rise
Those poor afflicted people
Of Montgomery Village

Fake farmers, straight jezebels
You know the score
Pick up the pieces in the graveyard
And leave ‘em at the door

The master-plan unfolds, silent sinister
Is there any hope left Opossum Minister?

Eyes like clouds know you stare
Count the minutes by the rocking of chairs

Prathertown unincorporated
May you stay far unrelated to the
Wicked ways of Montgomery Village
There’s a darkness deep in their eyes
As if the sun don’t rise
Those poor afflicted people
Of Montgomery Village

Prathertown unincorporated
May you stay far unrelated to the
Wicked ways of Montgomery Village
There’s a darkness deep in their eyes
As if the sun don’t rise
Those poor afflicted people
Of Montgomery Village
