[Performed with Gillian Welch and David Rawlings] Don't ever buy nothing from a man named Truth Don't ever buy nothing from a man named Truth I'll tell you right now that it ain't no use Don't ever buy nothing from a man named Truth Pain was hunting me down but I gave him the slip I left the city through a tunnel and I headed for the skids With a-rain or oil in the morphine drip Pain was a-hunting me down but I gave him the slip And I fell in love with the biblical twins And there's thirty-four summers between the two of them I gave one my ego, I gave one my id Yeah, I got to get back to my pretty little twins Don't ever buy nothing from a man named Truth Don't ever buy nothing from a man named Truth I'll tell you right now that it ain't no use Don't ever buy nothing from a man named Truth I was lost for a year in those almond trees The sun was rising in the south and setting in the east I was a half awake, I was half asleep I thought I'd never get out of those almond trees SongtexteAnd don't think too slow in circling the sun You'll get buried alive when the caterpillar comes Tapping your time on congo drums Just don't think too slow in the circling sun I met a black-skinned man with an ice cream grin And a blonde afghan with some heroin And we moved to the mountains where the highway ends And I got myself that ice cream grin So don't search too hard for that Aztec gold Well, I owe Cortez, you'll lose your soul Turn an honest man into Diablo Yeah, don't trade your soul for no Aztec gold Don't ever buy nothing from a man named Truth Don't ever buy nothing from a man named Truth You look in my eyes, you can (and you'll) see the proof Don't ever buy nothing from a man named Truth Don't ever buy nothing from a man named Truth Don't ever buy nothing from a man named Truth Don't ever buy nothing from a man named Truth Don't ever buy nothing from a man named Truth Aus Songtexte Mania
