Cain's Blood Songtext
von Michael Johnson

Half of my blood is Cain′s blood
Half of my blood is Abel's
One eye looks to heaven
One eye looks for trouble

Sweet mother, she sang in the Sunday choir
On her head was a halo, she spoke of brimstone and fire
Daddy lived by the bottle, daddy died by the bar
Well, he froze one night, mama said, "Serves him right
The devil can keep him warm"

Half of my blood is Cain′s blood
Half of my blood is Abel's
One eye looks to heaven
One eye looks for trouble


Guess I always saw myself as a simple man
There's a man in the mirror I don′t understand
Every day I fight it, but I know down deep
It′s the secrets I've been keeping rising from their sleep

Well, now that you know me
Do you still need me or just half the man?
Deep in the darkness
Can you still see the light? Will you take me as I am?

Half of my blood is Cain′s blood
Half of my blood is Abel's
One eye looks to heaven
One eye looks for trouble
Half of my blood is Cain′s blood
Half of my blood is Abel's
One eye looks to heaven
One eye looks for trouble
