Wild Dogs: Divorce!

6 views

Lyrics

We wed behind the old house, offered our skin
 Removed it from our branches, and let it be curtains
 And I asked him where he put the bones;
 And I asked her where she put the bones:
 They fed them to the horses
 We shivered and kissed our linen loud
 And held the holy spirit in our mouth
 And my beard did break, when it found his face
 And my beard did break, when it found her face
 But there is still one light in one house
 Far in fields from the city
 One light is forest fire, left running in the pantry
 One light is a campfire, in the living room for reptiles
 Who promise they'll make new skin, between the wars at nightfall
 Wild dogs, can I confess? I never wanted this marriage
 Coming home to wife and kids, and failed science experiments
 Tear down all the laundry lines,
 Let the sickness out of me
 Tear down all the laundry lines,
 Get the sickness out of me
 And we danced to "Cecilia", like I did with my mother
 Stomping loudly, we filled the kitchen up with each other
 We shaved our heads clean, and left off the lighthouse
 Kept clothes for ransom, while he pulled the lakes out
 And he confessed a gravedigger shared with him his bed
 And I pulled the telephone right out of his head
 He quit his job, pulled his teeth, and moved down to the harbor
 He stole all my money to pay for the lawyers
 Now is a whalekiller in the wasteland for hire
 He can only get it off, when you set him on fire
 And now my bashed head can't sew his blood on my back
 We are broke for bricks, and the house is quiet
 And I asked him where he put the bones;
 And I asked her where she put the bones;
 They fed them to the horses
