Sundown Betty Lyrics

Two thousand steps into the woods
Past skeletons of hemlock trees
Laughter, music, windows glow
From the house of Sundown Betty

Bodies dancin' deep inside
Bottles, knives, and wicked dreams
The strings distort the truth in lies
Gasoline, electricity

We bend, but we never never
Almost never break free
Before we baptize our bodies
Deep into the lake
We never never almost never beg
We church all through the night
At Sundown Betty's

We dancin' for the happy
We dancin' for the sad
Been dancin' since we got here/before we were born/since the babies were born
To scare away the bad!

We bend, but we never never
Almost never break free
Before we baptize our bodies
Deep into the lake
We never never almost never beg
We church all through the night
At Sundown Betty's

An hour before sunrise
Betty begins her dance
Eyes rolled back
She grinds and bends
An ancient, hypnotic trance

That shack becomes a temple
No devil dares advance
It's a weekly exorcism
Sublime to find romance!

We dancin' for the happy
We dancin' for the sad
Been dancin' since we got here/before we were born/since the babies were born
To scare away the bad!

We bend, but we never never
Almost never break free
Before we baptize our bodies
Deep into the lake
We never never almost never beg
We church all through the night
At Sundown Betty's

We bend, but we never never
Almost never break free
Before we baptize our bodies
Deep into the lake
We never never almost never beg
We church all through the night
At Sundown Betty's
