lyrics

when the ice melted there was only us
drinking the bottle you held to the moon
we started the car then arrived in the
eye of a road named after us
before we knew what it meant to be young
caught in the crime of a comet tail light
he threw down the reigns in stark disbelief
i was moving to Athens (Georgia) but fell off the truck
when i heard you weren’t the one
my tongue could taste the sun
i called from the warehouse of cheap laundry art
you delivered the treaty while i sat in the trash
when i asked for a ride i thought you would just
laugh
but you answered with your drum
an endless repeating hum

dark parts that i can’t explain
the queen she won’t let me get off of the train
so i sleep and wait for the king to kill himself
all is fare and i don’t believe in hell
any way

hands are cold starving for a mouth to fill
a history of shopping inside a theory
we opened the windows and slept through the war
without clothes you drank the rain
while i bled my right hand down the drain
slashing a curious trail through the dark
coiled and moaning in a little blue house
with no one to tell us the strings are too loud
we tore into our fate leaving pounds of wishes to waste
the road split in half where the lighting fell down
summers where counted on fingers until now
where we watch as a flower turns into a cloud
and carries itself in shapes
we can see ourselves in her face

well dark parts that i can’t explain
the queen she won’t let me get off of the train
so i sleep and wait for the king to kill himself
while the saints are all preening on the shelf
and the ambulance rides the ambulance
the big mouth chokes out a laugh before it croaks
we no nothing is all we’ll ever know
so we run until we run out of breath
then we walk

Album of the year. In a fair and just world, they would be headlining festivals with this one. Big hooks. Vivid verses. Fingers-crossed, the instrumentals will get the vinyl treatment. Goodwill Hunter
