Faye Tucker Lyrics
Indigo Girls
On the night they killed faye tucker
I was gambling away my last dime
Yeah well I pulled down the lever
And I sent up a prayer
That my luck would not be denied
My luck would not be denied
So roll out the head of faye tucker
Yeah well never you mind what they say
Well you may be reborn
But its all just for scorn
And thats what youll take to the grave
Thats what youll take to the grave
Well the minister wants you to live now
And the governor wants you to fry
And whatever it was that you thought might occur
Well they got something else on their minds
They got something else on their minds
If you live they gonna make you a campaigner
(if you live they gonna make you a campaigner)
If you die they gonna make you a grave
(if you die they gonna make you a grave)
Either way it goes down
(either way it goes down)
Your lifes not your own
And thats why killin dont pay
(hey your lifes not your own)
Thats why killin dont pay
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I thought I heard the angels bells
But they were just the hounds of hell
I thought I heard the angels bells
But they were just the hounds of hell
What did you learn faye tucker
Yeah what will you take from this world
Yeah well mercy could prove us
But nothing would move us
To rise above just being cruel
To rise above just being cruel
