BIG HOLLOW MAN
Danielle Dax


Hey, yeah!
Walkin' in the valley of decision.
Hey, yeah!
Reap all the wages of sin.


A big hollow man,
With a fistful of sham,
Came a-walkin' across the sea.
All leathery charms,
As he pinwheeled his arms,
And directed his gaze at me:
And he said,


God will provide the way.
You read about it everyday.
I'm tellin' ya ...
All you gotta do is pray;
And furnish his house with silver.


Hey, yeah!
Walkin' in the valley of decision.
Hey, yeah!
Reap all the wages of sin.


Liberty's daughter,
Well-primed for the slaughter,
A space where her brains had been.
All ribbons and curls,
She's a good-hearted girl,
Broken by what she had seen;
And she said,


Daddy don't you go away.
Stay with me and we can play.
I'm beggin' ya ...
Do it just like yesterday.
Then I can go home to Jesus.


Hey, yeah!
Walkin' in the valley of decision.
Hey, yeah!
Reap all the wages of sin.


A regular joe,
Who had no where to go,
A space where his home had been.
A bombing religion -
A blight on the region -
To fuel a pious dream;
And they said,


God will provide the way.
You read about it everyday.
I'm tellin' ya ...
All you gotta do is pray;
And furnish his house with silver.


Hey, yeah!
Walkin' in the valley of decision.
Hey, yeah!
Reap all the wages of sin.
