[Verse 1]
She stepped down from her carriage
At Ten Vermillon Street
I took off my roustabout
And slung it at her feet
We went into her parlor
And she cooled me with her fan
But said, "I'll go no further
With a fantasy-makin' man"
I said, "I'd walk on the Poncha train
For what you have today"
Just a drink from your deep well
And I'll be on my way
She laughed and heaven filled the room
Said, "This I give to you
This body's wisdom is the flesh
But here's a thing or two"
[Chorus]
Death and hell are never full
And neither are the eyes of men
Cats can fly from nine stories high
And pigs can see the wind
She stepped down from her carriage
At Ten Vermillon Street
I took off my roustabout
And slung it at her feet
We went into her parlor
And she cooled me with her fan
But said, "I'll go no further
With a fantasy-makin' man"
I said, "I'd walk on the Poncha train
For what you have today"
Just a drink from your deep well
And I'll be on my way
She laughed and heaven filled the room
Said, "This I give to you
This body's wisdom is the flesh
But here's a thing or two"
[Chorus]
Death and hell are never full
And neither are the eyes of men
Cats can fly from nine stories high
And pigs can see the wind
