[Verse]
I'm on the dar
k side of a ho
llow hill
The sun comes
up, babe, but
it's hard to g
et my fill
Your blue sera
pe, well it fi
ts my mood
I'm through wi
th Bibles and
I'm through wi
th food
Somebody's cal
ling, trying t
o track me dow
n
And if I don't
answer, I'd h
ang around
As side-passed
lovers lost i
n the dark
I look for hig
h ground for t
o build an ark
I can't rememb
er when I felt
so free
Maybe Septembe
r, the year yo
u believed in
me
In 1900 and 99
When I found t
he angels a-dr
inking wine
Seems every ca
stle is made o
f sand
The great dest
royer sleeps i
n every man
Here comes my
baby, here com
es my man
With the silve
r dagger in hi
s hand
[Outro]
Ooooh
With that silv
er dagger in h
is hand
