The Reaper

Jonah Kagen

Slow up child

You're gonna get burned

Lay down, where you goin' in a hurry?

There ain't water in the wine

You're gonna live a long long life

 

[Verse 1]

I woke up one mornin' restless on a bed of gasoline

Finally dawned on me the time that I've spent shackled in these sheets

Said life inside these walls ain't doin' nothin good for me

So I burned down that old brick house and I threw away the key

 

Headed west out to Montana and said I'm nevеr comin' home

Closed my eyеs and grip the wheel and let my chest say where to go

But I met God in Greenville county upside down, glass on the road

He said "Boy you never warmed up you got used to bein' cold"

 

[Chorus]

Slow up child

You're gonna get burned

Lay down, where you goin' in a hurry?

There ain't water in the wine

You're gonna live a long long life

Slow up boy

Shut your mouth

Stop preaching 'bout shit you don't know about

You got nothin' but time

You're gonna live a long long life

 

Met a girl out in the desert and she told me I was ill

She said I will make you better and she handed me a pill

She was pretty so I thought if this won't help me nothin' will

Soon enough I woke up floating high above the desert hills

 

Then all at once the desert sounded evil and turned black

I watched what little life was left catch fire and turn to ash

And I saw my mother standing there with an empty can of gas

She said "What the fuck you doin' boy you get your ass right back"

 

[Chorus]

Slow up child

You're gonna get burned

Lay down, where you goin' in a hurry?

There ain't water in the wine

You're gonna live a long long life

Slow up boy

And shut your mouth

Stop preaching 'bout shit you don't know about

You got nothin' but time

You're gonna live a long long life

 

[Chorus]

Slow up child

You're gonna get burned

Lay down, where you goin' in a hurry?

There ain't water in the wine

You're gonna live a long long life

Slow up boy

And shut your mouth

Stop preaching 'bout shit you don't know about

You got nothin' but time

You're gonna live a long long life
