serpent charmer

Lyrics

there's a woman here with a broken record player, and a dusty compass off to map the country's new behavior, strange words that we hold on back into the river, brave boys in the empty coats of men, there's a kitchen timer, distractions and reminders, that the rolly-pollies started crawling cross your family's china, strange words that we hold on back into the river, dead dogs only want to live again, there's a serpent charmer, pair of shoes and wander, speeding ticket, you're not leaving that last land of slaughter, strange words that we hold on back into the river, good girls come and kick you in the shin, there's a hopeful hunter with a hapless sense of wonder, and a million claw marks on the rock he hid his money under, strange words that we hold on back into the river, and made men only want to live again
