*************** DEATH AND HELL ***************

written by John R. Cash and John Carter Cash

performed by Johnny Cash.

	She stepped down from her carriage at 10 Vermillon Street
	I took off my roustabout and slung it to her feet
	We went into her parlor and she cooled me with her fan
	But said i'll go no further with a fantasy makin' man

	I said i'd walk on Ponchatrain for what you have today
                                                           A  
	Just to drink from your deep well and i'll be on my way
	She laughed and heaven filled the room said this i give to you
	This body's wisdom is the flesh,but here's a thing or two

	Death and hell are never full
	And neither are the eyes of men
	Cats can fly from nine stories high
	And pigs can see the wind

	She let me make my pallet in the moonlight on the floor
	Just outside of paradise but right in hell's back door
	The image of her nibbled at the eye of my soul
	My dreams were a hurricane and quite out of control

	Then her voice came through the storm it's more than flesh i deal
	You will have to pay for any wisdom that you steal
	I awoke to tinted windows and lavender and red
	The first station of the cross is just above my head
	I awoke to gargoyles and a hard bench for my bed
                                                           A      
	Jesus Christ and Pontias Pilate were just above my head
