about

Recorded at Observatory Studios by Erik Rasmussen

lyrics

sail to
other lands
in your diary entries
written in
foreign hands

nettle
metal buildings

barrels of
cold copper

all the saints of the church or
whole flocks of
all white doves

can't replace your image
in my house
on my tongue
in my song

in my prayers
you're safe from the politics and
charnel houses
of youth

skin on the milk
and dust on my legs
I can't feel the hard edge
drink to the dregs
appeal to the heavens
ritual cleansing

lost in the taste
the sun
and why we want you

cause he's the only one
who ever really mattered

long solemn walk
at night on your avenue

for a single source
from which all this is
could be anchored

all capitals of empires
remind me of you

slink into the arteries
of anybody

how could you possibly imagine
a purpose of life like that

to steal the train of thought
from the illuminati

from a place of privilege
it is easy to judge

tie your hands together
cradle your foreign doves
