Recorded in the lodge at Massanetta.
This song goes nowhere fast.
lyrics
She said I’m just a ghost digging holes for a grave I’ll never use
Won’t put the shovel down, tell me what’s your excuse
The hallway lined with photographs & posters leaves a clear path for the door
The animal inside her leads her crawling ‘cross the floor
Got a bag full of makeup & pills doesn’t know what for
Retreat seems the better choice, but forward is the only way she knows
She’s got the maps & legends, she follows where the wind blows
I start the judgements early, but I suppose
We all fall hard
Sometimes we stay down
She’s got the courage to wait
Wait for the rebound
In 2 days she lived for 7 weeks or maybe even more
“I don’t think that Jesus wants to help me fight this war“
Can’t seem to figure her out, but I know for sure
We all fall hard
Sometimes we stay down
She’s got the courage to wait
Wait for the rebound
