lyrics

Like a river that’s becoming the sea,
I became you when you came into me
in your little apartment on Houston and B,
where you taught me about shivering.
Where you taught me about shivering.

Shivering.
Shivering.
Shivering.
I’ll teach you about shivering.

The sexton had a son, and when he turned twelve,
it was time to show him Heaven and Hell.
The difference, he said, it can be hard to tell.
That’s why I’ll teach you how to ring them bells.
That’s why I’ll teach you how to ring them bells.

Lights out at the madhouse. We were looking for dust.
All the shadows in the desert, I don’t know which ones to trust.
I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy, I guess
who likes to mix a little no with yes.
Who likes to mix a little no with yes.

Shivering.
Shivering.
Shivering.
I’ll teach you about shivering.

You know how it goes these shambolic days.
They’d arrest the wind if it was blowing the wrong way.
They’d dig your grave and misspell your name
before they’d teach you about shivering.
Before they’d teach you about shivering.

The system got the horses.
The system got the knives.
The system got it’s own poison tongue
up the asshole of its own mind.
Up the asshole of its own mind.
