THE HOLD STEADY lyrics : "Cattle And The Creeping Things"
pretty sure we've heard this one before. don't it all end up in some revelation?
with 4 guys on horses, and violent red visions famine and death and pestilence
and war. i'm pretty sure i heard this one before. you in the corner with a good
looking drifter. two cups of coffee and ten packs of sugar. i heard gideon saw
you in denver. he said you're contagious. silly rabbit. tripping is for
teenagers. murder is for murderers. and hard drugs are for bartenders. i think i
might have mentioned that before.
he's got the pages in his pockets that he ripped out of the bible from his
bedstand in the motel. he likes the part where the traders get chased out from
the temple. i guess i heard about original sin. i heard the dude blamed the
chick. i heard the chick blamed the snake. i heard they were naked when they got
busted. i heard things ain't been the same since. you on the streets with a
tendency to preach to the choir. wired for sound and down with whatever. i heard
gideon did you in denver.
she's got a cross around her neck that she ripped off from a schoolgirl in the
subway on a visit to the city. she likes how it looks on her chest with three
open buttons. she likes the part where one brother kills the other. she has to
wonder if the the world ever will recover. because cain and abel seem to still
be causing trouble.
she said: i was seeing double for 3 straight days after i got born again it felt
strange but it was nice and peaceful. it really pleased me to be around so many
people. of course half were just visions but half of them were friend from going
thru the program with me. later on we did some sexy things. took a couple
photographs and carved them into wood reliefs. but that's enough about me. tell
me how you got down here into ybor city.
he said: i got thru the part about the exodus. up to then i only knew it was a
movement of the people. but if small town cops are like swarms of flies and if
blackened foil is like boils and hail. then i'm pretty sure we've been thru this
before. and it seemed like a simple place to score. then some old lady came to
the door and said mckenzie phillips doesn't live here anymore.
