Hear a word from the black earth
There are bones in the river
They are floatin’ down the river
Chokin’ up the water to the well
Hear a word from the black earth
There are flies in the vineyard
Keep your eyes on the vineyard
Something’s dyin’ in the vineyard I can smell it
They’re plowin’ the Potter’s field
Turnin’ over every stone
They’re plowin’ the potter’s field
Angel’s blowin’ on a gold trombone
Oh brother (Oh brother)
Oh sister (Oh sister)
Take cover
‘Cause the sky is fallin’ down
Oh brother (Oh brother)
Oh sister (Oh sister)
Take cover
‘Cause the sky is fallin’
And time is runnin’ out
Hear a word from the black earth
There are moths in the cotton
The apple’s gone rotten
And the birds are flurrying away
Hear a word from the black earth
Lucifer is laughin’
Paparazzi photographing
Yeah, it’s the dawn of the Judgement Day!
Oh brother (Oh brother)
Oh sister (Oh sister)
Take cover
‘Cause the sky is fallin’ down
Oh brother (Oh brother)
Oh sister (Oh sister)
Take cover
‘Cause the sky is fallin’
And time is runnin’ out
They’re makin’ hot toddies in the boilin’ sea
Where ya gonna run to get away from me?
Hot yellow ball risin’ up in the East
Where ya gonna run to get away from me?
They’re mixin’ bloody Marys in the crimson tide
Where ya gonna run? Where ya gonna hide?
Don’t look at it too long or it will burn out your eyes
Where ya gonna run? Where ya gonna hide?

Primitive plow
Primitive wheel
Yeah, they’re diggin’ up the trouble in the Potter’s field
