Lyrics for Caught in the Briars

Back alley's full of rain And everything shining As holy as she can be The trick's in the timing Free as a morning bird Fragile as china She's stuck in the weakest heart Of South Carolina Will all of the naked boys Lay down beside her? Sing her the saddest song All caught in the briers I never meant to fall So hard in the doorway All of the sinners here Have crosses for Sunday Kissed at the county fair Frisked in the city Where prove is an answered prayer But ain't it a pity Did all of the naked boys Who lay down beside her Sing her the saddest song All caught in the briers?
