Opossum Minister

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

The wolf howls at midnight, the rooster at the dawn

Opossum minister, where you been so long?

[Verse 2]

Montgomery Village kids, you just look like the type

You sure you want to know the mysteries? You’re but a trifling height

[Pre-Chorus]

Families in their den, staring at the box

Opossum minister, hen done killed the fox

[Chorus 1]

Eyes like clouds

Know you stare

Count the minutes by

The rocking of chairs

[Chorus 2]

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

[Verse 3]

Fake farmers, straight jezebels, you know the score

Pick up the pieces in the graveyard and leave 'em at the door

[Pre-Chorus]

The master plan unfolds, silent sinister

Is there any hope left, opossum minister?

[Chorus]

Eyes like clouds

Know you stare

Count the minutes by

The rocking of chairs

[Chorus 2]

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
