Blackwater Chapel - KRUSTY

SOUTHERN GOTHIC!!! ENJOY!!! LYRICS: [Verse 1] There’s a sign by the mill Painted white, cracked red Main Street folds up early But nobody goes to bed Mabel keeps the diner Serving pie and alibis And the sheriff never notices What’s parked behind his eyes [Pre-Chorus] Every porch light’s low Every smile’s thin If you ask the wrong question They don’t let you in [Chorus] Blackwater Chapel Keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut Blackwater Chapel If you know, you know enough They bury the truth In the red clay dust Blackwater Chapel Keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut [Verse 2] The Johnson boy came home With a ring he wouldn’t wear Mama said, “He’s working late” But his boots stayed on the stairs Old man Vale by the grain bins Says the river took a son Yet every July the church yard Gets one grave more than one [Pre-Chorus] Every porch light’s low Every smile’s thin If you ask the wrong question They don’t let you in [Chorus] Blackwater Chapel Keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut Blackwater Chapel If you know, you know enough They bury the truth In the red clay dust Blackwater Chapel Keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut [Bridge] And the preacher owns the map room Behind the hymnbook wall There’s a cellar under mercy Where the silence eats it all If the creek runs black tomorrow Don’t go down by the bend Some towns live on Sundays Some towns never mend [Chorus] Blackwater Chapel Keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut Blackwater Chapel If you know, you know enough They bury the truth In the red clay dust Blackwater Chapel Keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut
