Bottomless Pit
King Dude Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is a man made from the devil's hands
Cut from a cloth woven in the desert sands
He speaks in a tongue that no one understands
He looks like a demon but still acts like a man
He loves a woman born of the devil's seed
She's got the kind of lovin' that a demon needs
Not one girl alive can bring him to his knees
Unless she's that angel with them black leather wings

You know he knows that she knows that they know where to go, below
They're going down to a bottomless pit
And they like what they find it's designed to be fine for their kind
They're going down to a bottomless pit

She's has the kind of lovin' that gets born again
Her soul is reincarnate from an Egyptian's
He asked, what's your thoughts on original sin
She said I ain't Cleopatra just her identical twin
Cast from the lord's kingdom where the angels sing
Those songs in the key of what salvation brings
One day the come on home bells are gonna ring
But here's to hoping you can't hear it over my summoning

You know he knows that she knows that they know where to go, below
They're going down to a bottomless pit
And they like what they find it's designed to be fine for their kind
They're going down to a bottomless pit

The lord loves the light like the good lord should
He loves his angels 'cause they all understood
The fact he made and raised them up from childhood
And can toss them in the fire like some old firewood
Good god plucked the wings off his favorite son
Now what you think he don't like what he becomes




Some folks like the heat hotter than the sun
They like fire in their water and smoke in their lungs
