You tempt my temper

Oh low and likely

Left where the dust decays

Abide and count my days

I throw some stones down in a valley fair

Neither old nor wiser

I'll reel and falter

Don't play that part

Don't sing in circle tongue

To call the lightening down

You threw my bones down on a desert's floor

Like a rolling riser I'm gettin' up, I'm getting up, I'm gettin' up

And I'll follow slowly

My skeleton walks

It rises from the earth

And it screams your name out

To never cast another curse

Come now, come faster

With luck in tow

Her live encircling

So go around and start again

And when you fine me I may be struck down

But like a rolling riser I'm gettin' up, I'm comin' up, I'm gettin' up
