Lucinda / Ain't Goin' Down (Live 2008)

Lucinda / Ain't Goin Down Well they call me William the Pleaser I sold opium fireworks and lead now I'm telling my troubles to strangers when the shadows get long I'll be dead now her hair was as black as a bucket of tar her skin as white as a cuttlefish bone I left Texas to follow Lucinda Now I'll never see heaven or home I made a wish on a sliver of moonlight a sly grin and a bowl full of stars I was just like a kid who captures a firefly and leaves it only to die in the jar Ain't goin' down ain't goin' down momma to the well momma to the well momma to the well no more momma to the well no more I'm a true believer I'm a true believer believer Aow as I kick at the clouds at my hanging as I swing out over the crowd I will search every face for Lucinda's and she will go off with me down to hell the devil dances inside empty pockets but she didn't want money or pearls no that wasn't enough for Lucinda she wasn't that kind of girl I thought I'd broke loose from Lucinda The rain returned and so did the wind I cast this burden on the god that's within me And I'll leave this old world and go free Ain't goin' down ain't goin' down momma to the well momma to the well momma to the well momma to the well no more ain't goin' down momma to the well momma to the well momma to the well momma to the well no more I'm a true believer I'm a true believer believer They call me William the Pleaser I sold opium, fireworks and lead Now I'm telling my troubles to strangers When the shadows get long I'll be dead dead dead dead.
