The Straighten Outer Songtext
von Grant‐Lee Phillips

Thunder on the mountain terrace
Lightning in the sky
Hammer of the straighten outer
Working overtime

And all the world′s a rattle snake
Waiting to unwind
And all the world needs setting straight
In his crooked mind

Birds are breathing circle over
Black winged birds
Smithy of the straighten outer
Hammer out the curbs


Volley of the straighten outer
Make the ravens laugh
Nature, she got all the power
He will never have

The thunder of the straighten outer
Sparking up the sky
Hammer of the straighten outer
Working overtime

And all the world's a rattle snake
Waiting to unwind
And all the world needs setting straight
In his crooked mind

Story of the straighten outer
Story of the straighten outer
Volley of the straighten outer
Um um straighten outer
