Crucified in Smoke - A1 (Blues)

Verse 1
I wandered into a corner, just wanted to be left alone
Thoughts were flyin’ far, far and wide
I saw blame, I saw flies
If I’d had ‘em in my hands, I’d’ve crucified

Verse 2
Old whiskey shadows crawled up the wall
Started callin’ me by my name
Every face that ever done me wrong
Looked different, but they all wore the same blame
I pointed fingers through the smokey haze
Till the room spun black and blue
Then a cracked-up mirror in the corner laughed
And pointed one right back at you

Chorus
Oh Lord, these ghosts don’t die easy
They just change the shoes they wear
I been huntin’ devils in the darkness
Findin’ my reflection everywhere
Oh Lord, these ghosts don’t die easy
They just change the shoes they wear
I been huntin’ devils in the darkness
Findin’ my reflection everywhere

Verse 3
Rain beat time on the windowpane
Like a chain gang draggin’ through the mud
I carried grudges like gospel songs
Till they turned my heart to blood
Then I heard a lonesome train cry out
From somewhere beyond the night
Said “Son, vengeance is a heavy coat”
“And you been wearin’ yours too tight”
