She has eyes in the back of her head, \
And they say she can talk with the dead,
And the people come from far and wide.
The people come from far and wide.
She was born with a crook in her spine,
And her head twisted off to the side,
Like an antenna that the wind bent out of line,
She picks up signals from across the other side.
And the people come from far and wide.
The people come from far and wide.
Like slowing hands on the radio dial,
Coaxing transmissions up from out the dead of night,
Frequencies hidden there and hanging in the sky,
She carries messages across the great divide.
And the people come from far and wide,
The people come from far and wide.
White as a ghost in the back of her home,
Always smiling from her bed at the people who come in,
She is trembling at the edge, always sick and close to death,
Where the barrier is thin,
Where the light begins to dim.
She can see…

Faint

I told her I cannot remember now,
The memory is lost.
There was a flash and a fog,
And voice calling out.
But sometimes so familiar
I can almost recognize.
Kneeling at the base of a tree.
Reaching back into the night.
This isn't right.
And sometimes when I close my eyes,
It flickers like a star,
A sudden splash of imagery,
When everything was young and free.
And sometimes so familiar
I can almost recognize.
Far away and long before
Reaching back into the night.
This isn't right.
And far away and long before
The fields were wrapped in wires,
Before the land was burned,
Cut and carved, scraped away,
Skin peeled off,
And fitted then with boundaries
And names and roads and interstates
An eye peers through a visage cracked and scarred.
It is bloodless; it is cold.
This isn't right.
A time before the history was replaced,
A time before the memory was stolen and erased,
A time before before the song began to fade,
Before the faces pressing hard against the bars
Became permanently changed.
I used to know a golden age.
Rosa Mae,
She said it all comes back around again in time.

Stupid

Lookin' a the blackness gonn do you in.
Probably gonna hear it if you're listening in.
You could sit in solitude and be true.
But where is Mama to comfort when it's only you?
The more I get to thinking of it,
The more I have to stay disconnected.
The moral of the story is this,
That there ain't nothing, nothing worth stressing,
If love is just a spark in a pound of meat,
Then I'll see you on the other side, being stupid.
Puttin' on your makeup when you feel the fear.
Watchin' your reflection shimmer in the mirror.
Grabbin' onto blankets as you hit the floor.
Now you feel it crowding on you even more.
The more I get to thinking of it,
The more I have to stay disconnected.
The moral of the story is this,
That there ain't nothing, nothing worth stressing,
If love is just a spark in a pound of meat,
Then I'll see you on the other side, being stupid.

Careful

So, wait a while before you head out.
Everybody knows that you are here.
Cut the lights as soon as you get near.
And now it's the same as before.
I wish I could help you,
But I don't need a big heap of stuff in return.
I still wouldn't want to,
But you could get hurt in the back of a car,
If you're not careful.
I don't want to have to read your name in the paper.
Go in power.
I'm trying to do what you want,
But I don't understand.

Summons

All the while I knew just what it was.
All the lies I told myself because...
Don't try to fight it.
And in the corner of your eye,
Your guiding star hangs in the sky.
Don't try to fight it.
Lately I've been thinking about death.
There is a pattern falling out behind me.
All the time you think you still have left,
But you know. You know.
