Uncle Lucius Taking in the View lyrics

The Devil's in the detail shop, waiting on his old ragtop
Wondering where the hell all the real souls've gone
Cuz it's been so long since the Reaping's worth a damn

Sister Mary's living hand to mouth
Can't believe how fast it all went south
Taking pains to conceive of an immaculate life
But Jesus Christ it sure gets hard sometimes

And the bright morning star has left Chicago,
He's headed down to Ashville Carolina via Ohio
They got a rich four season climate, and a ridge of mountains blue,
And he's gonna spend his golden years Taking in the View

Ever since Joseph passed away,
The lady hasn't had too much to say,
You can find her kneeling in the garden of skin & bones
And when the seeds have grown, she'll plant again

Last time the market fell,
Satan had to sell off half of Hell.
Now it's all suburban sprawl and big box stores

Well he can't be sure, but this might be the end

And the bright morning star has left Chicago,
He's headed down to Ashville Carolina via Ohio
He's got a stack of classic vinyl, and a turntable to boot,
And he's gonna spend his golden years Taking in the View

And he'll sing I shall be released,
And I've got a woman over town who is good to me,
And walking the floor,
And doo doo doo looking out my back door,
And Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in a church where a wedding has been,
And I can hear that train coming round again.

And the bright morning star has left Chicago,
He's headed down to Ashville Carolina via Ohio
They got a rich four season climate there, and a ridge of mountains blue,
And he's gonna spend his golden years Taking in the View.
