Katie Cruel The Felice Brothers

I flew around the world
All the way from East Kentucky
In a split pea shell
I was chewing on a soda cracker
She was chewing on some chewing tobacco
In a split pea shell

The moon's on fire, the bird's in a cage
The dog's all bark yeah, the band don't play
Heaven knows it's cruel enough
Katie Katie Cruel

I've been feeling fine
Ever since my execution
Living in my own abyss
Away from the miracle weapon
Away from the revolution
Waiting on a phantom's kiss

The moon's on fire, the bird's in a cage
The dog's all bark yeah, the band don't play
The yard's on fire, the inmates scream
I'm leaving today on this split pea street
Heaven knows it's cruel enough
