Kristin Hersh - Uncle June and Aunt Kiyoti lyrics
Your rating:
Lying all night, screaming in pain Defending the cross in the Belfast rain The billy saw me at the end of the street So I lit up my torch and embraced him with heat Town of Aintab in 340 A.D. Threw me in a quarry, no way to get free I called on Hate to give me my life And he came on his black horse, obsidian knife Happened one night, I was lying in bed Eyes wide open, I could have been dead The sky lady came with her eyes shining bright And the bears and the billies and the bullies took flight But I called them all back And the sky lady too The bears and the billies and the bullies Me and you We laid down our bombs and bows And drank to their health on the Anatolian plateau From New Scotland to Calgary The geese are high and so are we We don't even need a map We're way too fast for the highway trap So hit the road and shine a light I think we're gonna find the path tonight Shooting star and the moon is bad It's the best damn omen that we ever had
