Grace For Sale

Lyrics
A sheep has left the fold

Hoofbeats go a-trotting, trotting

Up to Heaven bold

At the gates a-knocking, knocking

Sheep in wolfish clothes

Holy jaws are dropping

Up in Heaven's hold

Plant my hooves, my hooks, my books

Once upon a time

Heaven was a tower, tower

Tethered in its pride

Cast us grapes as sour, sour

Thought the ink was dried

But Hellish gardens flowered

Ivy to be climbed

Spread my filth, my wings, my weeds, my weeds

My fairest wheels are turning

Hark the angels wail

Bedtime is a-burning, burning

We've got grace for sale

How the worm is turning, turning

Lay you down to sleep

With wicked little stories

Count your missing sheep

Shed my skin, my fleece, my sin, my worms

They burrow up the line

Serpents in the branches

Branching up those crooked vines

Vultures of a feather hatching

Circus lullabies

Carousels a-ramping

Up to heaven

I raise my Hell, my Cain, my stakes, my snakes

Tongues, tongues

Slither in the mud

That's how a carnival grows, my son

Tongues, tongues

Slither in the psalms

That's how a carnival grows

All these fickle beasts

Heaven hath rejected

Lapping glory from our teats

Each of them is tested, blessed

Cast down for your sin

Come here for redemption

We've got grace for cheap

We've got grace for cheap

Lest you end up bested

Lost and torn to shreds, dissected

Tongues, tongues

Slither in the mud

Slither in the mud

Slither in the mud

That's how a carnival grows, my son

That's how a carnival grows

Tongues, tongues

Slither in the psalms

Slither in the psalms

Slither in the psalms

That's how a carnival grows, my son

That's how a carnival grows

Fa la la

It's off to Hell we go

Cross your heart and hope to die

It's off to Hell we go

Fa la la

It's off to Hell we go

Stick a needle in your eye

It's off to Hell we go

(Carnies):

Fa la la

It's off to Hell we go

Cross your heart and hope to die

It's off to Hell we go

Fa la la

It's off to Hell we go

Stick a needle in your eye

It's off to Hell we go

Fa la la

It's off to Hell we go

Cross your heart and hope to die

It's off to Hell we go

Fa la la

It's off to Hell we go

Stick a needle in your eye

It's off to Hell we go

Fa la la

It's off to Hell we go

Cross your heart and hope to die

It's off to Hell--
