Blackfire Choked Our Death Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - Beck

Lightning burned the fields 

Black fire choked our breath 

We huddled in the kitchen 

Sand poured through the walls 

We looked to one another 

The children shut their mouths 

The whirling and the turning 

Of destruction filled our house 

The blood-thirsty yearning 

Clamored all about us 

Darkness rose up 

From the floor like a demon 

Fearful of the death 

That buckled through our minds 

Shaken to the core 

Foresaken and unkind 

Well, the sun came a-shinin 

And the dust did settle down 

Birds and jack-rabbits 

Lay dead on the ground 

Electricity 

Trembled in the skys 

Sparks shot forward 

Causing us to fly 

Take some breakfast 

But the grit was in our food 

And everywhere around us 

Starvation broke on through 

My husband stood a-starin 

At the plentiful disaster 

God was in his eyes 

But death was in his heart 

Dried up whiskey 

Chickens in the house 

Stolen car stereo 

Cholesterol on your mouth 

Stolen car stereo 

Snowman all in flames 

Deluxe cockroach 

Telling me what's real 

Black Sabbath playing 

I wake up in my socks 

Candle all a-burnin 

Her face is on tv
