Lyrics The Beautiful Dirt - Jerry Joseph, Jerry Joseph & The Jackmormons

The Beautiful Dirt

I think I’ll head down to the disco
Do the mambo with the chicks
with dicks
Because you’re never too old or
too dead
To learn a couple new tricks
It’s the Year of the Maggot
It’s the Year of the Flood
Give a little money
Give a little blood
This is the part where they cut
out your heart
And they feed it to the Spirit of
the Snake
Put your back teeth in a rattle
So the princess, she can do her
serpent shake
It’s the Year of the Lion
It’s the Year of the Dog
Take one for the team
And satisfy the gods
My, my, my baby, I’m so happy
I will love you until it hurts
Swear you’re going to be my baby
Lie down here with me in the
beautiful dirt
I saw your momma, she was
holding up the local pharmacy
You better learn to tango
because your supper, it won’t
cook itself for free
I saw your Jesus, he was out
there, he was begging in the streets
He keeps dying for your sins,
but your sins won’t buy him
anything to eat
It’s the Year of the Viper
It’s the Year of the Lord
But you’re keeping all the candy
While we’re diving on your
sword again
My, my, my baby, I’m so happy
I will love you until it hurts
Swear you’re going to be my baby
Lie down here with me in the
beautiful dirt
In the beautiful dirt
In the beautiful dirt
I swear I saw your Noah in a
panic at the zoo
With his dart gun and a safety
net he’s rounding up the
monkeys two by two
This is the Year of the Horse
And there’s terror in his eyes
Better build a bigger boat
Because the water is going
to rise
I saw Madonna and her baby,
they were locked out of the gates
Seems the guards have bought
a rock the size of Egypt, so the
King of Kings can wait
It’s the Year of the Dragon
Pulling apples from the vine
Everyone forgets you
Once the water is turned to wine
My, my, my baby, I’m so happy
I’ll be dancing until it hurts
Swear you’re going to be my baby
Lie down here with me
My, my, my baby, I’m so happy
I will show you what you’re
worth
Swear you’re going to be my baby
Lie down here with me
My, my, my baby, I’m so happy
I will love you until it hurts
Swear you’re going to be my baby
Lie down here with me
Lie down here with me in the
beautiful dirt
In the sacramental, in the levity dirt
In the beautiful dirt
