- Blood Loss
My first love was an arsonist
Black eyes, deep set and avarice
Red lips built like a tomb
You'll never get out of this (some day I'll see to this)
And moonlight I found would bow
To her slender hand stretched out
Fingers inside your heart and your mind
You'll never get out of this (some day I'll see to this)
- Cherry Blossoms
I drive this car through the city every night
There's a quiet I never heard before
And lonely, my sister could not describe
All the good things gone wrong
And there was blood on my teeth
From the long winter here
Bones broke in half
- I Believe Jesus Brought Us Together
I met you in the upper room
Of a house where I slept with the angels
From hell and from heaven
Some for haunting, some for guarding
Each to his own purpose over my trembling skin
And I kept my secrets far from your condition
And in the explosions they both were just powders
- I Witnessed A Crime
I guess the moon it had it out for us
And the night and the stars the same
Everything she touched turned to stone or died eventually
Or was never seen the same again
Yeah, and this heart I had
You never sympathize
And while you held my hand
- Ladykiller
Watch me slide over here
Feel me breathe over there
I seen a ghost in our willow
Must've lost his lover somewhere
I been around a few times
Never caught a fever like you
Never seen me a woman
Turn a deeper shade of blue
- Last Rites
Start up the car,
Bury your memories,
Call on your lovers
Speaking slow and heavy.
Call up your boyfriends from out by the ocean,
While I get my last rights read by a thief,
While I get my last rights read by a thief.
- Mary Ann
Look out below the hurricane comes near
The water's all poison and they're showing their teeth
So is that your baby, oh my my your darling?
Well didn't she hear the sirens and the storm bell's warning?
Woe to your lovers with their soft, fragile hearts
You cry all night long keeping the horses alarmed
Mary Ann, you don't have to worry like them
- Sugar
I guess you need a little sugar
Cause you always wander around
How would you like a little fancy
Whenever you feel a little inside out
I heard you need a vacation
Said I bored you right to tears
I heard my love was a season
That you wore for the pretty girls
