One Eyed Chicken

One-Eyed Chicken

[Beth Hart/Jon Nichols]

Album: 37 days (2007)

Oh father, come together

My sisters and all my brothers

Apathy, getting crazy

Help me understand

There's water there's fire

Which one should I aspire

Compassion or reaction

What will command

(Reach out and hold me or reach out and bite my hand)

[Chorus:]

I'm like a one-eyed chicken and a two-legged dog

Shrinking heads in the kitchen then I piss on the lawn

I'm not the kind of woman that you want to take home

Only heaven knows the devil's pain

I just can't change

I'm diggin' diggin' diggin' diggin' on you

Diggin' diggin' diggin' diggin' on me

We're diggin diggin diggin diggin are we

What we gonna do?

Oh father, make it better

Make my love shine bigger than ever

Tell Jesus, Never leave us, this is my prayer

There's kindness, there's cruelty

A little bit of both inside of me

Come love me Come heal me

Make me aware

(Reach out and hold me-or reach out and bite my hand)

[Chorus: Repeat]

So glad you made it

Or I'd be nothing at all

I'm tired and faded

I'm like a wreckin' Ball

[Chorus: Repeat]

[Chorus: Repeat]
