lyrics

Burn out like a fire overturned
My tongue trips on tired words

I’m moving off
I’m packing to go
I’m moving off
I’m packing to go

Been out to sea for far too long
Rusted near a quiet song

I’m moving off
I’m packing to go
I’m moving off
I’m packing to go


Murder Ballad

Well you started to draw and quarter
And you laid me amongst the pines
My daughter asked me how I was
I said, “Sweetheart I’m doing just fine”

Caught my brother down in Georgia
He was layin’ on the old line
Hanging ‘neath the willows
With blood spiriting down his spine

This is the way to go
I don’t know what else to say
Wish to be up in heaven low
But I got lost somewhere along the way

My sister lays so still
With blood rushing through her hair
She gazes up skyward
And prays to someone who isn’t there

My mother is quite the fine woman
‘Til daddy shot her in the head
She was cooking dinner for the both of them
She poisoned his bowl and now they’re both dead

This is the way to go
I don’t know what else to say
Wish to be up in heaven low
But I got lost somewhere along the way

My wife, she loves me still
My dog, she howls through the night
My son asks when daddy’s coming back
“Son, I’ll be home by the morning light”

This is the way to go
I don’t know what else to say
Wish to be up in heaven low
But I got lost somewhere along the way
