text: Well they call me William the Pleaser
  I sold opium, fireworks, and lead
  Now Im telling my troubles to strangers
  When the shadows get long, Ill be dead
  Now her hair was as black as a bucket of tar
  Her skin as white as a cuttlefish bone
  I left Texas to follow Lucinda
  Now Ill never see heaven or home
  I made a wish on a sliver of moonlight
  A sly grin and a bowl full of stars
  Like a kid who captures a firefly
  And leaves it only to die in the jar
  As I kick at the clouds at my hanging
  As I swing out over the crowd
  I will search every face for Lucindas
  And she will go off with me down to hell
  I thought Id broke loose of Lucinda
  The rain returned and so did the wind
  I cast this burden on the god thats within me
  And Ill leave this old world and go free
  The devil dances inside empty pockets
  But she didnt want money or pearls
  No, that wasnt enough for Lucinda
  She wasnt that kind of girl
  Now Ive fallen from grace for Lucinda
  Whoever thought that helld be so cold?
  I did well for an old tin can sailor
  But she wanted the bell in my soul
  Ive spoken to God on the mountain
  Ive swam in the Irish Sea
  I ate fire and drank from the Ganges
  And Ill beg there for mercy for me
  I thought Id broke loose of Lucinda
  The rain returned and so did the wind
  I was standing outside the Whitehorse
  And man, I was afraid to go in
  I heard someone pull the trigger
  Her breasts heaved in the moonlight again
  There was a smear of gold in the window
  And then I was the jewel of her sin
  They call me William the Pleaser
  I sold opium, fireworks, and lead
  Now Im telling my troubles to strangers
  When the shadows get long, Ill be dead
  Now her hair was a black as a bucket of tar
  Skin as white as a cuttlefish bone
  I left Texas to follow Lucinda
  I know Ill never see heaven or home
