Tom Waits - "Way Down In The Hole"
"Way Down In The Hole"
When you walk through the garden
you gotta watch your back
well I beg your pardon
walk the straight and narrow track
if you walk with Jesus
he's gonna save your soul
you gotta keep the devil
way down in the hole
he's got the fire and the fury
at his command
well you don't have to worry
if you hold on to Jesus hand
we'll all be safe from Satan
when the thunder rolls
just gotta help me keep the devil
way down in the hole
All the angels sing about Jesus' mighty sword
and they'll shield you with their wings
and keep you close to the lord
don't pay heed to temptation
for his hands are so cold
you gotta help me keep the devil
way down in the hole
...
Simple as that!
Do NOT FOLLOW THE DEVIL!!!!!
Thanks for posting.
Not Conservative OR LIB, JUST A GOOD MAN!!!!!!!!
I believe this man deserve respect!
Love him to death! Real life, as it gets....
deserve = deserves...My Bad...
I hate when these A-holes make money trying to tell us who this man is.
Just. Listen.
He'll tell you who he is, and how much he loves life and the freedom of the GOOD OLD AMERICA!
Never know, next, he could die of self inflected deadly wound!
STAY on your SPREAD and CARRY MANY!!!!
I used to hear him a lot some decades ago, when FM music was a thing.
I could tell what he was doing was high quality performance art, but I’ve never been able to tolerate his voice for very long. The voice seemed torturous. But to each his own.
If, I did not, grew up in US, this man would be my Epiphany of a patriot in a twisted way...
The heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel it, I understand it, I follow it.
This is the essentials why you want to fight for your country tilo you are dead..
Thanks for the reminder. ;-)
If you love him, maybe capitalize his name?
Tom is a SoCal boy. His song about LA Skid Row, “On the Nickle” (5th Street), Is about as good as it gets.

Bechya!
Remember the old joke about the folks from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
"Told'ya, they did not speak English!"
Pretty good, just an example:
Grammar in this world is outta window...
The migrants, like me, love it.
No more spelling errors, NOT TRUE
I do LOVE PROPER English! Worked for a "punster" guy, Wally in Calgary, RIP, We had tons of fun with the langue........
Moved to this continent in 85, since, I just love the "little big man!"
Speaks to my free man soul! (lived under the commie regime)
Funny... Went back to the old country after 25 years first time. Did bar keeping for my old buddy for a while.< P> Speaking; Slovakia.. This customer was a Bratislava local DJ.
He said the same thing... Just ... you know what I mean....
BTW, we drunk a lot shots of "Fernet!" and few of the greens... (Absinth-nasty stuff-190 proof [called green locally])
If you want a pun, I’ll bet Tom waits for nobody!
