A Brief Intermission Lyrics - Singles - The Snake The Cross The Crown

a mother went up to the mountain 

she said it was for gold 

but all these drums and indians, oh no. 

said buddy was a good boy, but just not for me 

come on now pack your bags, time to leave 

but Mom, are you dead? 

are you free from this life you've left for such red faced man 

oh ma, oh please dont leave. 

back to the city with high heels, gold rings upon her hands 

get up son its time to run, jump and land. 

in a wagon with no wheels and no place to go 

she just smiles and nods her head 'oh welcome home' but oh those mines 

can't you see, we're just much too deep for your sins 

though you buried them beneath the mountaintops where are you going with the cold skin blues 

well i just want to be with you 

i know you never said that you would stay forever and its getting late 

well i dont want to be a broken boy, so sad alone, and oh so coy 

why do you got to be so god damn cruel 

well i just want to be with you. but do you 

a mother went back to a mountain 

she said it was for love 

well all those mountains and 

they're buried with their lust and her gold rings
