The Words Have It

i wrote some lyrics
i think i'm going to turn it into a folk song.
or just something, i really like them.

"the jump on death"

I'm going to start this one up
the old machine, the stop and go thing

the heart.

Christ it's taking to long to make the music
but it's taking this long for the castle, the air
the music in the throat, the lump washed out

that's a summer love in disguise

I've got words to make this map out
following the breath down every channel
the blood down every angle

the words down that very tear drop

{chorus}
the words have it
the words have it
the words have it
they have the jump on death

the words have it
the words have it
the words have it
they have the jump on death

i say them on a monday after noon, or on lonely nights
under an arch of trees, the moon slips into my sights
i watch as it slips it's tongue into the mouth of the star

then i say to her, it's over.

{chorus}

hey son of man, stalling out another terror
you've everything to make up for, you are the no stakes winner
the need to make good intentions in a house of bone
the desperate pleading you need just to be let back into your home

{chorus}
