In the Tall Grass

歌詞

Baby, tell me anything that you please I'll take it all with a grain of salt I know exactly why you're calling me I don't even need to hear you talk Daddy told me always watch my feet When walking where the weeds grow too tall And I can tell that you're lying to me By the fork at the end of your tongue The end of your tongue I been up all night waiting for you to come home Come up with a good reason I been up all night knowing you gone and done wrong I know you're lying 'cause you're speaking Go on keep on praying to your God above He knows the Devil when he sees him He only putting bills in your ol' swear jar He won't buy you no freedom Careful brother the grass grows awful high here Ain't no telling what's dwelling or hides near The former felon don't always appear in Nike Airs With right eye that might cry only tattoo tears Now, real killers don't kick down doors The dangerous ones are ones you invite in your own home So while you busy blowing and chanting Turn around clown the nightgown of the serpent is waiting She got you in a death hold that won't let go And you're quick to thank her Stiletto ain't just a shoe but a knife it is dangerous Brother, I bet you you just slow And you think you can change it But a snake is still a snake even if it shed its skin daily I know you listening lady Yeah, you been keeping tabs on me lately Crawled out your rock the moment I made it With apologetic talk, Obama promising changes I been up all night waiting for you to come home Come up with a good reason I been up all night knowing you gone and done wrong I know you're lying 'cause you're speaking Go on keep on praying to your God above He knows the Devil when he sees him He only putting bills in your ol' swear jar He won't buy you no freedom
