lyrics

MISERY, MISSOURI


Swimming in cement, we were like little kids on horseback.
The horses bolt, and we nearly have a heart attack.
Take the reins back, back to the cabin in the woods.


Dead long days, we have gone without power.
The sun is choosing sides, it's getting darker by the hour.
Can I take it all back? back to the cabin in the woods.


The broken boughs,
the crystal trees,
we lit up once,
then we died out
in Misery, Missouri.


No gun on the mantle, and no drink within the bottle.
Thank your lucky stars, if today I win the lotto.
I will give it all back, back to the cabin in the woods.


The broken will,
the bowing trees,
we gestured once,
then we stood still
in good, old Misery, Missouri.


In misery, robbing the nest.
In misery, raising the rent.
Love made and love spent.
I miss myself to death.


The ices crack
the true white trees,
we made a move,
then we took it back
in Misery, Missouri.




DAS - Osceola, Missouri, USA
