Lyrics Damien Jurado

Damien Jurado

Fuel

I was born in this town

my name taken from here

3 sisters and a brother

who all died before me

when wickedness takes you

like a child of it's own

nobody will befriend you

nobody will defend you

I murdered the law here

I took on God here

so in place of your sins I bring you Judas

So mother, burn my body

for fuel

oh, mother, burn my body

for fuel

They say I'm a story

but the legend's all wrong

I was forced out of town

but kept in this song

See it was you who made me

it is you who must take me

love me or hate me

I'm still your son

So mother, burn my body

for fuel

Oh, mother, burn my body

for fuel

So mother, burn my body

for fuel.
