Daughter

I just thought I'd let you know

There's war in an old set of bones

When they shake

You can feel the Earth moan

There's a war

And it rips through the hills on a child's roar

Skips across the water like a stone

There's a sure rope swinging

Without a head in its jaws, it's waiting

There's a war

(Comes then it goes)

(Comes then it goes)

(Comes) Open-mouthed

In the deepest shit of all

(It takes time then goes) Takes time

(It takes time then goes)

(Takes) Spitting image

Of an unanswered call

(Comes then it goes)

(Comes then it goes) Goes

Lost love in a gaping maw

(It takes time then goes)

(It takes time then goes) Goes

Same dead hand

Knocking at the door

(It comes then it goes)

(It comes then it goes)

Same dead hand knocking at the door

There's a war

Then reel back and say, oh

We never should've let them go

And say no, no, no, no, there are no saints anymore

And oh, love is a tired whore

And oh, love's a tired whore

And oh, love is a tired whore

And oh, love is a tired whore

And oh, love is a tired whore

Piano wires

Pressed by the key

The hammer pulls the car

Around back and everyone piles in

Schedule is mentioned

Horn sounds in the distance

Pasteurized idea

Vibrates a pocket

Is this meant to be

Or wicked chance?

They drive on

Each street light a memory

Knowing they'll die here or there

Knowing they'd die here and there

Knowing they'll die here or there

Knowing they'd die here and there

Knowing they'll die here or there

Knowing they'll die here and there

Knowing they'd die here and there

Knowing they'd die here and there

Knowing they'd die
