lyrics

They chased me from the trees, with traps at all of my feet. You looked good enough to eat but it was you who saved me. Owls will take baby chicks, pin them down with their beaks and wait until they’re all tuckered out- and then they’ll have a neck meat feast.
The diatoms they all died and then they were fossilized now they’re scattered all around my life to kill the bedbugs and to kill the flies. Watching out for the owls and worrying all about the chicks, I feel gravity tugging me upward, it’s just the capillary effect.
You came up the stairs with mayonnaise all in your hair, and the lights in the trees they glowed all above me. All dogs go to heaven. You know that it’s true. where did you think all of that finger-licking and ass-kissing would get you. Did you think straight to heaven? Let’s just say that when we die we all just fall asleep and when we fall asleep we dream another life and one day soon that this will all come true.
I dreamt my fingers became an arm, they reached up inside to find all that I was made of and came back fat and full-fisted all but one little pinky finger my 9 lives have been exhausted by 9 weasely doorbell ringers. The thunderstorms came back from the shore and they brought the stinkbugs with ‘em. They ate up the apple crop but left us with the twisters. Family homes and tobacco barns they come down with a vengeance and it feels to me like the day I stepped on my last pair of suspenders.
Claw hammer claw hammer claw bring your hammer down.
If I had my claw hammer I would tear this place apart.
Levi’s hot on the track, he’s a tobacco-vacation smokestack. But I may be too far to get back so it’s “Hey Bobcat”
