Jersey (Don't Kill Me) (without intro & outro)

intro:
Thirteenth child from a witches den
Thirteenth child from a witches den
Fly away or she’ll cut off your head
Fly away or she’ll cut off your head

Moonlight crawls across the black of night
Labored breathe, you rest, under the pitch pines
Four hundred years are wearing thin
Kirkwood-Cohansey poised to drink you in

Bemused by your need to journey on
A spell of low smoke sweetly envelopes you
Divine fragrance drives you to the Point
Nostrils flared, the smell of kin blood yeah...

chorus:
Jersey don’t kill me
Jersey don’t kill me
Rewards unclaimed for you alive or dead
Men still hunt you down across this barren land
Immortality slipping away
But here behind my door your resurrection lay

Blood spilled from Red Bank to Barnegat
Searching for the cure with every crimson drink
Believing your kind were extinct
But now the fourteenth child reveals herself to you

Chorus

Like you, death has walked past my door
But decay has put a mark on you
And I’ve had time to hone my sorcery
And now I share with you our immortality

chorus


outro

Hush little baby ....
