One Eyed Chicken Lyrics

Oh father, come together
My sisters and all my brothers
Apathy, getting crazy
Help me understand
There's water there's fire
Which one should I aspire
Compassion or reaction
What will command
(Reach out and hold me or reach out and bite my hand)

[Chorus]
I'm like a one-eyed chicken and a two-legged dog
Shrinking heads in the kitchen then I piss on the lawn
I'm not the kind of woman that you want to take home
Only heaven knows the devil's pain
I just can't change

I'm diggin' diggin' diggin' diggin' on you
Diggin' diggin' diggin' diggin' on me
We're diggin diggin diggin diggin are we
What we gonna do?

Oh father, make it better
Make my love shine bigger than ever
Tell Jesus, Never leave us, this is my prayer
There's kindness, there's cruelty
A little bit of both inside of me
Come love me Come heal me
Make me aware
(Reach out and hold me-or reach out and bite my hand)
[Chorus]

So glad you made it
Or I'd be nothing at all
I'm tired and faded
I'm like a wreckin' Ball

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
