Artist: Rasputina Album: Thanks For The Ether
Lyrics
All that I have is this dull paring knife Peeling potatoes for the rest of my life Dirt floors bring dust so I hope for the best I carry candles with pains in my chest
Face tied together with three times used string Follow me see what I mean
Fixing a fencepost or feeding a cow Two penny saltlick I never ask how Animals like me though folks turn away I like the pigeons I like what they say
Face tied together with three times used string Follow me see what I mean
We come alone and leave alone and we look the horse in the mouth We scratch the skin and break the bone and see birds migrating south
By the side of the stump where she told us these things If you hear a bell ring you get some wings Don't bother looking for what I've neglected to bring By the side of the stump where she told us these things If you hear a bell ring you get some wings She's fallen farther than feathers that float in the wind
I saw a wishing well down by the stream I never understood what wishes mean Just ask for nothing you get what you get I asked for something I've not got it yet Face tied together with three times used string Follow me see what I mean
We come alone and leave alone and look the horse in the mouth We scratch the skin and break the bone and see birds migrating south
By the side of the stump where she told us these things If you hear a bell ring you get some wings Don't bother looking for what I've neglected to bring By the side of the stump where she told us these things If you hear a bell ring you get some wings She's fallen farther than feathers that float in the wind
