Death Rattle Blues

from The Madness Of Crowds by Cursed Arrows

/

about

Dedicated to Tim McLean.

lyrics

i let the rattlesnake in
can't find his way back out
i give the reason within
another reason to back out
reason and sin
fingers entwined
reason within
get out while you're still alive

watching you watching me
wave at the road signs
voices and winds change
stare at told polaroids
read into the grain
see words that aren't there
watching your eyes shift
their focus to me

did they make a sound?
dead man in the living room
and the lady with no face
did she lose it in a gunfight? dog fight/
did he die in his sleep?

we didn't make a move
dead man in the back seat
with the monster who took him apart
we're paralyzed now
he destroyed us, too
we should have killed him
when we could still see you

i know you're going to talk in code...
