lyrics

Awful Ends
cut the dog into a carpet
sold the windows as knives
planted dynamite with the tulips
filled the piano with rice
get a shovel
shook sticks at rocking chairs
baked quicksilver bread
rode upon the galloping horse with no head
get a shovel
a heavy honey tongue and hungry heart of gall
three aspen leaves should silence them all
rang the dinner bell on the drunk hornet’s nest
get a shovel
collected criminal ears
and fashioned candles from the deafening wax
get a shovel
getashovel getashovel getashovel getashovel
whistling girls and crowing hens
always come to some awful end
till the white rooster crows, the show must go on
a whistling woman and crowing hen
are neither fit for god nor men
till the night rooster crows, the search must go on
for the water in the well turns to arsenic at dawn
left
hind
cut off in a cemetery
under friday’s new moon
administered by a cross-eyed man
