There was a black heart beatin' in a cowboy's chest. When the sun had cooked him through. And the tracks were tears on a cigarette. When the sky had opened up again.
You got to bury, bury, bury your dyin' mother.. Bury your dyin' mother in the ground, ground, ground.. Because one day (one day) one day (one day). One day she'll be singin' up in the sky, sky, sky..
It came across the land,. Like a Spanish influenza.. We were brought down to our knees.. And we sat amongst the cracks. Where the pennies all were rollin'.
Get on the train (Get on the train). Get on the slow train (Get on the slow train). . And the would-be lookers-on. Are long since dead and gone. And your face is white and long.
I came out of the mountain. My hands were on fire. My cradle the ocean bottom,. My home became the sky. . I wasn't born a father,. I never knew my son.
Oh, the night (yes, the night). It comes crawlin' in.. It comes crawlin' in, oh it comes crawlin' in.. Well, the night (yes, the night). It comes crawlin' in..
Oh, it came from the sea,. Yes it came from the sound,. The water is rising it covered my knees.. . Hang on to the bow line,. We're all bearing down..
I broke the vein. With a needle so long and sharp. I know the way. Down into the dark. A nightbird sings. I didn't hear a thing and. I broke the vein.
Find me, oh find me. Find me, oh find me. In the air, lord, in the air.. . Find me, oh find me. Find me, oh find me. In the air, lord, in the air.. . (Find me, oh find me.
Blood-shot, your eyes drop,. And the skin's all wearin' thin.. There's no one here to tell you 'bout the depth of the water,. Or the trouble that you're in..
I got a new home,. Down among the fish and grass and stones.. I was taken down because I stole money that was owed.. . You can have fun with a little fire,.
Little sister, there's blood on the tracks,. And a lit cigarette but you're not comin' back,. To a town that was built on black gold and iron ore.. . And the kettle got hot, and it boiled and it steamed,.
Intro. Ara n mbe. Ti mo fe da. Karaye ma pa kadara da. O n mbe (2x). Ara n mbe. O n mbe (10x). Ara n mbe. Ti mo fe da. Karaye ma pa kadara da. O n mbe (2x).
Send me a note that I might know. With all my aching heart. Send me the dirt that I might hold. So that I know where to start. . And send me alive for I am not rich.
Sing yourself to sleep. Because I don't know your name. To the ocean we will go. If the land won't stop us first. So kiss yourself for life. From the threats you can't bend.
You're soaking with. And I am bored as hell. You're not alone. You're not alone. So drink away your fears. Acknowledge them. And you only with them breathe.
so out of line, with the stars and the sky,. with our feet wet with dew, we will sing me and you,. with your hands on my chest, say i loved you the best and kiss me, kiss me.
You pick me up in the morning light. With a heavy head and sallow eyes. A ball of flesh and heavy bone. Known better days are kinda sore. . I used to dream of leaving here.
This body, that I know. Comes to me at night when I am alone. When I am alone. . It wraps around the empty parts. A familiar smell, confirms what I already know.
Darling can you hear me can you open up your eyes. And see that every move I make is a dance just for your gaze. That every single action is a means not to emend.
