Born Sandy Devotional
Such a sweet girl to me
I'll do what I can now
To love her to dust
For dust is what we all shall be

Born Sandy Devotional
All that I ever knew
Don’t know the wrong of that
Don’t know the good
Sticks like hot tar to the sole of my shoe

On yellow hood of her car with salt knots in her hair
And some cards and some chicken and beer
We can’t mess about
We kiss until...
Kiss until she has to leave

We’re born Sandy Devotional
All that I ever knew
Don’t know the wrong of that
Don’t know the good
Both of them ugly, both of them true

This is where the (Edit) version on In The Pines ends
___________________________________________

The version on the Born Sandy Devotional  re-issue continues as follows (although the earlier choruses are transposed)

I don’t want to hear no gossip or chat
No Bill or Pete, Kevin or Sam
They were just poison
They don’t mean a thing
Burn up in my spit
Like the fat in the pan

Born Sandy Devotional
Born under alternate stars
Born to be Sandy’s confessional
Burning like that to be trapped in her eyes

We go for a swim
And we wash it all off
And hope that it leaves us alone
But with each fresh kiss
Blood wells up again
Dries on top of skin
And eats into the bone

Born Sandy Devotional
Bound for an all sunless star
Bound to be Sandy’s confessional
Born Sandy Devotional
Feather and tarred

Born Sandy Devotional
Bound for an all godless star
Headed for trouble, looking for grief
Born Sandy Devotional
Feather and tarred
Yeah, feather and tarred
Feather and tarred

Dust is what we all shall be….
Dust is what we all shall be….
