lyrics

The Getaway Horse

I let my feet feel the heat of the road,
Cause when my palms hit the station,
I know christ will be waiting
For an offering,
I lost as a boy,
Unfurl and furl against a precipice.

I sleep in the furnace of my car,
Where i will not go far except miles,
Through the seas and the deserts,
To endeavour to forget the ideas of home,
And i won't even think about writing.

I will invest your snowy body in ground,
And i will replace all I love with song.

Great swarms of bees hit the shores,
Of a town where I stay ,
and remove all I've done ,
and evolve to the shape of a woman ,
embracing the spire,
She's so beautiful and beautiful and evil.

Curled up in the corner of a bar,
speaking tongues to a glass,
about things I don't know,
or can show to an audience
that cheer as I fall of my stool,
I don't mind because I am blind to everything.
