Naked Souls – Bill Callahan

I know a man
Says he can’t stand all the naked souls
Everyone naked as day
So he keeps himself locked away
Everywhere I look, it’s all I see
You can’t hide what’s inside
Maybe he’ll buy another gun
Or maybe he’ll become a policeman or kill one

If you escaped what I escaped
You’d be stress-eating in a diner in Dallas, too
It’s why I wear these shades
That say “F-you”
So I can’t see yours
And you can’t see my naked soul
And out on the highway
He’s slipping right behind you
Just like a gator into the glades

Gotta destroy these naked souls
Gotta destroy these naked, naked souls
Gotta destroy these naked, naked, naked souls
Gotta destroy these naked, naked, naked souls

Gotta destroy these naked, naked souls
Gotta destroy these naked, naked, naked, naked souls

Come on just blow a hole in Hispaniola

Gotta destroy these naked souls
Gotta destroy these naked, naked, naked, naked, naked, naked souls
Naked souls

Gotta destroy these naked, naked, naked, naked souls
Gotta destroy these naked souls
Gotta destroy these naked, naked, naked, naked souls
