Promise me you'll make it through
Your sweater is torn your friends is too
What are you waiting for, give me an in
There's nothing between us but the world's greatest sin
The coyotes are lean they're hugging my leg
Circling tighter and starting to beg
Stomachs a-rumble and eyes like a pin
Waiting around for the world's greatest sin
All this racket and i can't sleep now
The moonlight is bent and the mountains howl
I shun the hunger that's keeping me thin
Down in the valley of the world's greatest sin
They cut her and cast her and shattered the mold
The fragments are turning from dust into gold
I gathered them up drank them down with my gin
It formed in my gut as the world's greatest sin
Now all you men with women so pure
And all you women yet without cure
Listen to the words that are blowing in the wind
The answer my friends is the world's greatest sin
The streets are naked down to a thread
As i retire to a tightly made bed
My thoughts drift higher, linger, and then
Returning to you and the world's greatest sin
Crawling to where my body lay prone
Night-dreams of appetite scaling the throne
Splitting beasts savaged time and again
Refining the glory of the world's greatest sin
Up from the echoes of a foolish wealth
Churning the batter of power and health
Great endless murmurs without and within
Blowing out the concept of the world's greatest sin
