"Sinning Souls" is a persona written from the perspective of a crazed religious maniac who kills his wife because she is a "sinner".
lyrics
Well I had a darlin but she was full of sin, so I took out my razor and I cut her clean of it. There were puddles of trouble and white lies stainig tile, the jealousy dribbled gently all over my bright smiles.
I never seen a picture but I know that heavens nice. I never been to Denver but Im sure its mighty high. Woah oh oh my dalrin died.
Well my little flower, she grows under ground. She eats lunch with spiders, the worms hired her to get around. And they sa in the good book a cheater's liable to die. Well ive never been a reader but I sure like to write.
I never seen a picture but I know what hell looks like. I never been to Denver but Im sure its mighty high. Woah oh oh my dalrin died.
And down in town they are asking around, where oh where has Jenny gone. And here at home God's with me so im not alone, woah oh oh you poor sinning souls.
Well i had a darlin but she was mean to me, and now that girls starving, lord salvation isnt free.
