Lyrics Deep Dark Below - Amanda Shires

Most of the shingles are gone
There's a couple still hanging on
Like an old man's tooth
The third house in with the weeds and the limbs and all the
Broken glass and other people's trash
The windows are all busted out
You can slip your way carefully in
Even stand inside the tape
And lay in the shape of her chalk outline

Monsters are men that the devil gets in
And even he gets so bored sometimes
Climbs from his hole, oh the deep dark below
To entertain himself awhile
To entertain himself awhile

He puts on the body and clothes of someone you think you know
And you step into those hands like a horse in quicksand
You find yourself screaming your way to the end
That's what happened to Alicia

She was dancin' wide
Tilting from the wine, dark hair in diamond shine
Lonely and bruised, gettin' over being used
It's usually the weak ones he finds
It's usually the weak ones he finds

And he wanted her beauty, that's all he was after
Oh, he'd never seen hips and legs and skin, oh, arms like hers
And she was dying for some company
They found her some days later undone and scattered
And right beside her
A straight plane sledgehammer

I heard he plays a mean fiddle, and his bow's made of bones
And it sounds like your deepest desires
Lonely and bruised, gettin' over being used
It's usually the weak ones he finds
It's usually the weak ones he finds
