lyrics

The man who left it on the table
Wrapped in linen walking off
Here walks Lazarus who sought
Something down below us
Flies are buzzing unabated
Around a cold and headless corpse
Kids are poking. Unimportant.
Water all around us.

Tea and wine. The drink and bread
Portion out the blood and Lamb
Bourbon fattening the hips
Twisted up in winter
In a diamond, hide the sky
Evil as a concubine
Good as definite. Defined.
Water all around us.

Whitewash my gratified name
When the water rose for me
Secrets smile out the graves
Every waking moment
This is what I'm told I'm sure
I'm not him
And you're not her
We're two separate people pleasers
Pleased by our performance

I picked it all up off the table
Knew that I could have it all
Now the demons lay it down
In the cloth of cotton fields that grow up in the south
Bloody hands and parched mouth
Here, Delilah laid it down
And the water rose up

To meet the earth
Always so assured
Flood her lip with quarters
New Orleans death curse
Voodoo in a mini skirt
