lyrics

BODY LYING DOWN


She traded birthing morning’s burden burning knives into her spine
For a red-eyed ride on a steady stream of ever-dying nights
And we all dug the rhythm of her rolling black hole eyes
And the way her words would climb above our beaten down confines
And, boy, she won’t touch the ground
Boy, she won’t touch the ground
And when we find her in the morning there ain’t no one to be found
Just a body lying down

Her sadness hid in silence for Susie was polite
Her honest talk began to stop when she heard her mother cry
And waking in the alley, she would dream her mother died
So she could follow after, cutting loose the anchor line
But, boy, she don’t feel proud
Boy she don’t feel proud
So, when we find her the in the morning don’t you feed her with a crowd
Just a body lying down

Well, we all thought her a gambler and she wore it like a shroud
She played her hand like a guilty man, all in on her way out
And some blacked-out night she told me of her blameless exit route
As she cocked her head back in my bed pouring bullets in her mouth
And, boy, she just wanted out
Boy, she just wanted out
And when I find her in the morning, I won’t know where she is bound
Just a body lying down

She traded birthing morning’s burden for her rolling black hole eyes
