The Yellow Mile

Lyrics

I left my body in your care
You called me dolly and cut my hair
You plucked my wings off and I went slack
I was a beetle on my back

But gold was on the ground
A heavy yellow mile
I couldn't stand to leave
I was happy for a while

Lyrics continue below...

But I can't believe I loved you
Drunk when the lights went out
Time cannot wash my blood through
Give me any other wine
Any other wine

Bite my head off, spit me out
You pick me up just to take me down
Looking up at the ceiling cracks
I'm a woman on my back

But gold was in your mouth
A heavy yellow smile
I wouldn't change the past
I was happy for a while

But I can't believe I loved you
Drunk when the lights went out
Time cannot wash my blood through
Give me any other wine
Any other wine

Show me the bones that we buried outside
No home-grown, this is better
Show me the bones that we buried outside
No home-grown, this is better
Show me the bones that we buried outside
No home-grown, this is better
Show me the bones that we buried outside (don't be so)
No home-grown, this is better (kind)
Show me the bones that we buried outside (don't be so)
No home-grown, this is better (kind)
Show me the bones that we buried outside (don't be so)
No home-grown, this is better (so kind)
Show me the bones that we buried outside (don't be so)
No home-grown, this is better (kind)
Show me the bones that we buried outside (don't be so)
No home-grown, this is better (kind)
