Ray Wylie Hubbard, The Cadillac Three - Fast Left Hand lyrics

My grandma told my mama
"This boy gonna be the one
Gonna have a fast left hand
 same as the Seventh Son"
And then she lit a candle and set
It on a rabbit's skull
She touched a nine volt battery to
A wad of steel wool

There's a fire, there's a fire
There's a fire burning all the time
There's a fire, there's a fire
There's a fire burning all the time

I was raised with the Pentecostal
Believing the world was true
When I was thirteen I got
A Flat Top Kalamazoo ghosts started howling
Lightening lit up the dark
Smelled like singed hair when it
Ignited Joan of Ark

There's a fire, there's a fire
There's a fire burning all the time
There's a fire, there's a fire
There's a fire burning all the time

It's a dimes worth of blues and
A left hand with speed
This woman, yellow jacket's clothes
Feathers and flower seeds
There's a storm a-coming
I don't need a lightening rod
And I won't be pushed around
Bound to mediocre gods
I always bless my food
Even if it's shredded wheat
I don't always see the light
But I sure enough feel the heat

There's a fire, there's a fire
There's a fire burning all the time
There's a fire, there's a fire
There's a fire burning all the time
There's a fire, oh, there's a fire
There's a fire burning all the time
Oh, there's a fire, oh, there's a fire
There's a fire burning all the time

Ooh
