Lyrics for Sodom, South Georgia
Papa died smiling Wide as the ring of a bell Gone all star white Small as a wish in a well And Sodom, South Georgia Woke like a tree full of bees Buried in Christmas Bows and a blanket of weeds Papa died Sunday, and I understood All dead white boys say God is good White tongues hang out, God is good Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah Papa died while my girl Lady Edith was born Both heads fell like eyes On a crack in the door And Sodom, South Georgia Slept on an acre of bones Slept through Christmas Slept like a bucket of snow Papa died Sunday, and I understood All dead white boys say God is good White tongues hang out, God is good Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah
