LyricMeaning

Bodysnatchers
Dave Rawlings Machine

Everything’s predictable in little river towns

Barges and tobacco, drinking straight Kentucky brown

Mama’s bunions swelling when there’s evil creeping round

Like bodysnatchers


You know she used to tell me she was gazing out at space

I can feel them coming down to pilfer and erase

And I should have told you the first time that I saw you face to face

That you’re a bodysnatcher


I sold my soul for something up on Barford Hatches

Twenty years of lining down the tracks

Mama said next time you see the bodysnatchers

Tell them all they’d better get back


You better get back, get back, get back

Better get back you bodysnatchers

Better get back, get back, get back

You better get back you bodysnatchers


Each Mississippi river queen tries to play the saint

This far down the river you pretend you what you ain't

I’m the son of a son of a pioneer gun, I slather on the paint

Like a bodysnatcher


The nameless tombstones crumble o’er the graves of Cairo kings

When there’s high water everywhere it covers everything

And when the sun comes out of nowhere you can hear the birdies sing

You’re the bodysnatcher


I sold my soul for something up on Barford Hatches


Twenty years and lining down the track

Mama said next time you see the bodysnatchers

Tell them all they’d better get back


You better get back, get back, get back

You better get back you bodysnatchers

Better get back, get back, get back

You better get back you bodysnatchers


I guess if it was up to me I’d probably let you live

But Mama, when you cross her, she’s slower to forgive

She’ll stick you full of pins and leave you bleeding like a sieve

For bodysnatching


So when you come around here you best be waving something white

A pillowcase or a handkerchief ought to get the message right

And you oughta try not thieving things in the middle of the night

Don’t be a bodysnatcher


I sold my soul for something up on Barford Hatches

Twenty years of lining down the track

Mama said next time you see the bodysnatchers

Tell them all they’d better get back


You better get back, get back, get back

Better get back you bodysnatchers

You better get back, get back, get back

You better get back you bodysnatchers
