lyrics

“Prophets”

The prophets they still walk among us.
She tells me from my sullied sheets.
They curse and fuck and drink straight bourbon,
As they look you in the eye.

She could channel the burning insights of Elijah.
Level them at my naked in my bed.
Embarassed I would look to the open window,
Follow the arc of the branch up to the sky.

CHORUS
A sudden memory of words spoken by my mother,
Tearfully conferred just before bed.
They’re still resonating round and round in my head.

So I turn back now away from the open window.
She smiles knowing how I lose track of time.
I smile, growing, wanting to be inside her.
She smiles as she helps me lose my mind.

CHORUS
