Lyrics
Intro
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Sinners bleed, sinners run
Verse
Dust on the juke joint floor, moon hanging low
Remmick at the door, smile like a blade, eyes like snow
Stack and Smoke keep the door shut tight
But the night got teeth and the night don’t fight
Blood in the bottle, blood on the string
Bluesman sold his soul for the song he sings
Preacher’s girl got red on her dress
Everybody prayin’ but the devil don’t rest
Verse
Wooden stakes in the dirt, shotgun shells on the pew
Remmick’s laugh cuts the dark in two
He don’t need an invite, he just needs a crack
One wrong word and the whole room’s black
Mary’s eyes roll back, she starts to grin
Remmick’s voice crawls under her skin
“Open up, open up, let me in”
The choir starts singing but it’s already too late again
Verse
Stack’s got the axe, Smoke’s got the fire
Remmick’s got the hunger, he never gets tired
They’re runnin’ through the fields, they’re hidin’ in the reeds
But the dead keep walkin’ where the living bleed
Delta dirt turns crimson red
Remmick’s shadow grows where the sunlight fled
One bite, two bite, three souls gone
Sinners keep singin’ till the break of dawn
Chorus
Sinners (sinners), can’t outrun the night
Remmick (Remmick), teeth like the moonlight
Sinners (sinners), blood on the floor
Remmick (Remmick), knockin’ at your door
Sinners, sinners, scream it loud
Remmick’s comin’, gather ‘round
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Chorus
Sinners (sinners), can’t outrun the night
Remmick (Remmick), teeth like the moonlight
Sinners (sinners), blood on the floor
Remmick (Remmick), knockin’ at your door
Sinners, sinners, scream it loud
Remmick’s comin’, gather ‘round
Yeah, yeah, yeah
