Appalachian Alchemy Lyrics by Elvie Shane

Damascus

0

[Verse 1]
There's a devil in these hollers, my Papaw told me so
He's hidin' out, somewhere down off Barton Ferry Road
Got that high speed chicken feed, crystal meth amphetamines
Take's you high, then to your knees just like a hilltop church
Shakin' up a bottle 'til you're shakin' when it's gone
Then you're down at River City pawnin' everything you own
Hopin' there's a copper hidin' around these hills
Too proud to beg or borrow, but you ain't too proud to steal
[Chorus]
Alkaline and Sudafed
Paranoia in your head
Used to get it from the seed
Now it's Appalachian alchemy, yеah
Alchemy, yeah
[Verse 2]
He grеw up broke, he knows his way around a kitchen
Smell on a road of ammonia and mischief
His hounds are howlin', the neighbors are bitchin'
Everyone knows that ain't dinner Micky's fixin'
[Chorus]
Alkaline and Sudafed
Paranoia in your head
Used to get it from the seed
Now it's Appalachian alchemy, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Alchemy
Alchemy
Alchemy
[Bridge]
I'll tell you boys, he'll cheat you right
'Cause one night, I just went and took me a bite, yeah
And that apple fed my, my appetite
But it left me with a thirst, huh
[Chorus]
Alkaline and Sudafed
Paranoia in your head
Used to get it from the seed
Now it's Appalachian alchemy, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Alchemy
Alchemy
Alchemy
Alchemy
