lyrics

Movement to movies reeling from model in mohair
Concealment congeal with concord organ fail
You want to make me sick when the hayloft hums
Hanging a basket full moon calico stable girl

Scar crow barn crow heartless hurling for fruit show
It was a dead paint silver without a chest of gas-gun
Dusty dog was a willful impertinent auntie hero
And the whirlwind hammers and saws and Studio 2

And it was beautiful. Ventrified.
The dark cloud was real! Terrified.
And we came, and we gang, and we rose.
Let them caw, don't listen to the crows.

Loved the opium road and the snow buried feeled mice
The emerald deal wasn't plain nor brave awake
No hunger and no hurt makes emptiness a bonus
What tears you apart may later wing into homestead

And it was beautiful. Ventrified.
The dark cloud was real! Varified.
And we came, and we gang, and we rose.
Let them caw, don't listen to the crows.

Scar crow bran brain two days older enough
By gale to wretched tree, fed of wringing necks
Minding over matters of heart afterburner hearth
There's no place like hope here or anywhere else
