<poem> | |||
You'll know about her poison | |||
You'll know about her red hair | |||
You'll know her cuz she's floatin | |||
The only one who got there | |||
Ripped from your hands like a new-born baby | |||
Life flashes forward with a blink of your eye | |||
And drop to your knees, you think "I need a drink" | |||
Feel the hand of God as he smacks you down | |||
Face on straight, getting sideways stares | |||
And dressed too tight to kneel and pray | |||
She said: | |||
Jesus I can feel you in my fingernails | |||
You live in the glass that I pick from my hand | |||
Now I can see it in the shine | |||
From the blood on your face and now it's been so long | |||
Watch the shadow | |||
Watch the shadow | |||
You watch the shadow | |||
In my eye | |||
You'll know about her poison | |||
You'll know about her red hair | |||
You'll know her cuz she's floatin | |||
The only one who got there | |||
And hands are the shade | |||
Of the setting sun | |||
Now your face is so pretty | |||
Watching Jesus run | |||
And slide down the hallway | |||
Of the yellow light | |||
I hear them screaming in there | |||
I know he's screaming in there | |||
Face on straight, getting sideways stares | |||
And dressed too tight to kneel and pray | |||
She said: | |||
Jesus I can feel you in my fingernails | |||
You live in the glass that I pick from my hand | |||
Now in the cracks of the windshield and the lines on my palms | |||
And in the siren song | |||
Watch the shadow | |||
Watch the shadow | |||
You watch the shadow | |||
In my eye | |||
In my eye | |||
In my eye | |||
Go on give it a new name | |||
Go on and give it a new bed | |||
Go on and give it a face | |||
A new nose | |||
A new hand | |||
A new leg | |||
A new place | |||
The song goes ?? | |||
Hand on her knees | |||
The song goes ?? | |||
Just to grab that spike | |||
Between the ?? | |||
Between the truth and the light | |||
Between the hate and the lies | |||
You cross your heart | |||
And die | |||
