Cain came and he weighed my name against the sun
Riff coalescing for each deed I've done
Dust, scratch and chalk, they've gone against the wall
For each tree, rock and bone I swallowed whole
And what you'll need is a faint phrase to frame your cheek
And what you'll see are the sorry sounds and the way they sink
So I put my knees on the sidewalk where the swallow sleeps
And I learned to sing, yes, I learned to sing from the gallows creak
I learned to sing from the gallows creak
I learned to sing from the gallows creak
Swing left with a coin toss in a motor start
Place bets when you clamouring, we'll cut the knot
Into dust, keep dark and dawn, what song has won?
Dust, scratch and resuscitate, now the day is done
And what you heard were the sorry sounds and the way they were
Meant to walk the hollow cross from crawl to dirge
And you sold it off, yeah, you sold it all for a sinner's cure
And you know its worth, yeah, you know its worth when a sin's a cure
You know its worth when a sin's a cure
You know its worth when a sin's a cure
Breasts drop 'cause your eyelids lock at this hot
There's a place where the trees all die and let the lot
Of the sun burn each one into a grip
But it slips where the brick had rot and quivering
'Cause what was gone were the simple shapes your breath had drawn
And you stared in awe at the weeks you'd only filled with hum
And your lungs, they sunk the last plumb wisp of a dropping sun
And your red light sung, yeah, your
Red light screams like a buzzing gun
Your red light screams like a buzzing gun
Your red light screams like a buzzing gun
Creak, I cure
Creak, I cure
Creak, I cure
Creak, I cure
Creak, I cure
Creak, I cure
Creak, I cure
Creak, I cure
Creak, I cure
