"One Eyed Chicken" lyrics - BETH HART

Oh father, come together
My sisters and all my brothers
Apathy, getting crazy
Help me understand
There's water there's fire
Which one should I aspire?
Compassion or reaction
What will command?

Reach out and hold me or reach out and bite my hand

I'm like a one-eyed chicken and a two-legged dog
Shrinking heads in the kitchen then I piss on the lawn
I'm not the kind of woman that you want to take home
Only heaven knows the devil's pain
I just can't change

I'm diggin', diggin', diggin', diggin' on you
Diggin', diggin', diggin', diggin' on me
Diggin', diggin', diggin', diggin' are we
What we gonna do?

Oh father, make it better
Make my love shine bigger than ever
Tell Jesus, never leave us, this is my prayer
There's kindness, there's cruelty
A little bit of both inside of me
Come love me, come heal me
Make me aware

Reach out and hold me or reach out and bite my hand

I'm like a one-eyed chicken and a two-legged dog
Shrinking heads in the kitchen then I piss on the lawn
I'm not the kind of woman that you want to take home
Only heaven knows the devil's chain
I just can't change

So glad you made it
I'd be nothing at all
I'm tired and faded
I'm like a wreckin' ball

I'm like a one-eyed chicken and a two-legged dog
Shrinking heads in the kitchen then I piss on the lawn
I'm not the kind of woman that you want to take home
Only heaven knows the devil's pain
I just can't change
I just can't change
I just can't change

I'm diggin', diggin', diggin', diggin' on you
Diggin', diggin', diggin', diggin' on me
Diggin', diggin', diggin', diggin' are we
What we gonna do?
