lyrics

Once I need you
I’ll never behave
Take a line from the pages of the books that you say
If I slip my speech out of turn
I’ll be buried in the bushes with the stray cats
I’ll learn
Sometimes
It must have been my mistake

Rust in the bills
Doesn’t matter my skills
I’ll be back tomorrow
Got one up, lord
If I’m a suffering man
I’ll still be carried home

You can keep your cruel belief
Deep down with that money you eat
As hard as it may seem
I’m still coming home clean

I’m in love with the woman I borrow
From this world I’ve kept her from
Just her sweet embrace’ll keep me straight
On a twenty four hour run

But somewhere I need to find separate sleep
To escape the lies of my selfish keep
I need a rest from her protest
Of all the lies I swear I’d regret

Once I need you
I’ll never behave
Take a line from the pages of the books that you say
If I slip my speech out of turn
I’ll be buried in the bushes with the stray cats
I’ll learn
Sometimes I might have been out of my mind
Suffering through cycles of haze in my eye
Dazed like the mornings of days I was certain
You’d wake to me beating the heart of this withering ghost
That’s apart of this life I have choked
A keepsake to the me
I have spoke
Must have been my mistake

You can keep your cruel belief
Deep down with that money you eat
As hard as it may seem
I’m still coming home clean

I’m in love with the woman I borrow
From this world I’ve kept her from
Just her sweet embrace’ll keep me straight
On a twenty four hour run

But somewhere I need to find separate sleep
To escape the lies of my selfish keep
I need a rest from her protest
Of all the lies I swear I’d regret

St. Vith image

St. Vith

“Conjuring the kind of image-behind-the-veil kaleidoscopic trance of America’s first wave of psychedelic rock bands... St. Vith, forge the acid tones and bluesy stillness of yesteryear, happily searching the universe for that sacred ether of the mystical sixties…” – Christopher J. Harrington (Ithaca Times) ... more
