10000 Maniacs - A Campfire Song lyrics

A lie to say, "O my mountain has coal veins & beds to dig.
500 men with axes & they all dig for me." A lie to ssay, "O my
river where mant fish do swim, half of the catch is mine when you haul
your nets in." Never will he believe that his greed is a blinding
ray. No devil or redeemer will cheat him. He will take his gold to
where he has lying cold.
A lie to say, "O my mine gave a diamond as big as a fist."
But with every gem in his pocket, the jewels he´s missed. A lie to
say, "O my garden is growing taller by the day." He only eats the
best & tosses the rest away. Never will he be believe that his
greed is a blinding ray. No devil or redeemer can cheat him. he will
take his gold to where he has lying cold. Six deep in the grave.
Smth is out of reach
smth he wanted
smth is out of reach
he has being taunted
smth is out of reach
that he can´ beg or steal nor can he buy
his oldest pain
and fear in life
there will not be time
his oldest pain
and fear in life
there will not be time
A lie to say "O my forest has trees that block the sun and
when I cut them down I do not answer to anyone." No, no, never will he
believe that his greed is a blinding ray no devil or redeemer can
cheat
him. He will take his gold where he has lying cold.
