Moonshine Rockets Lyrics

A bloody stain went down the drain

With his sweat and with his tears

He felt insane, he felt his pain

It had been so many years

Since the hurricane, since he broke the chain

Since he closed his eyes and ears

Standing in the rain, it was all in vain

Too costly for repairs

And then one morning

Suddenly one morning

Uncle Sam had killed the priest

Moonshine rockets

Blood in both his pockets

Boozy haze and B. the beast

She was deceased

A telegram came with Uncle Sam

And priest Thomas blessed his name

A telegram from a shattered man

The last play of his game

Are you the man

Yes, I am

I'm sorry you became

A broken man

Thank you ma'am

I'm not the one to blame

And then one morning

Suddenly one morning

Uncle Sam had killed the priest

Moonshine rockets

Blood in both his pockets

Boozy haze and B. the beast

She was deceased

He hung his head wishing he was dead

And the moon was in his hand

The bird had fled, and as he read

He began to understand

The words he said, a world in red

A storm in Sugar Land

A lady friend that in the end

Disappeared in desert sand

And then one morning

Suddenly one morning

Uncle Sam had killed the priest

Moonshine rockets

Blood in both his pockets

Boozy haze and B. the beast

And then one morning

Suddenly one morning

Uncle Sam had killed the priest

Moonshine rockets

Blood in both his pockets

Boozy haze and B. the beast

She was deceased

Sweet Maddie B

From the time when he

Had coffee in the morning sun

Sweet Maddie B

From the time when he

Had coffee in the morning sun
