Califone Album

lit a blue tip match off the white of your eye it's apples and cigarettes on cold water drive give your belly to the lions and your throat to all their babies the power washer screams like a panther your rope and scar and rabbit hearts jesus drains electric fences to fill you again sailors mouth and falling brail don't fall away you sleep like an angel with sparrows beneath your eyelids wash in a fountain lean into the kill the mayflies all explode when they come to the coil at the driving range under blocks of fake light a broken feel electric fence don't fall away

nail gun marines foaming midget horses black smoke threads a straight line from your kidney to your hand from your hand to kingdom come be light enough to ride the backside of a magnet let it stay in lust with all the silver ghosts and dirty pictures fire in the horses mouth spitting cherry stems and square knots and drunk flies in the elevator camera the backside of a magnet let it stay let it stay let it fold the aldermen are praying praying to your picture st. martha locomotion snakes underfoot if easter was a river and the river folded under be light enough to ride let it stay let it stay glass behind the plains hanging ether jesus strobe decatur when you're blown when the river folded under shifting plates and bottle rockets ground out with your shoe st. martha with the serpents let it stay let it stay let it fold

knock you down when you stall be my legs be my mouth heaven's fake your mother lied sunday morning rolls her eyes and steals your home on your back on the roof steel eyed babies never play let your mouth full up with rain you never sing to me no water no more

weather like the crucifixion dreaming of a whore that's sparkling like a sparkler dead eyed starlet calm laid you down upon the coats covering the bed and said you are my brothers and what's his is mine the blinder you get the more you can taste don't let me die nervous the kids are eating candy skulls your face is buried in the engine the breaks were singing as you slide someone else's name like a crosseyed baby teething on a rusty knife i'm gonna have your backside lay your plantation down jump the fire burn your hair don't let me die nervous you can't hear a noise til your tongue's bitten out don't let me die nervous sweated off the number on the palm of your hand cold rain about to bust in between your bones and skin forgot what i was begging for you walk like a healthy meal the car alarms are moaning someone else's name

Got no honey baby now
Got no sugar baby now
