Bill Callahan - Javelin Unlanding lyrics

rate me

You looked like worldwide Armageddon

While you slept

You looked so peaceful you scared me

Don’t die just yet and leave me

Alone, alone, alone

On this journey round the sun

And oh, Javelin! Oh, Javelin unlanding

And oh, Javelin! Oh, Javelin unlanding

Sometimes it’s hard to know when to call it an evening

See as much as we can stand, stand till we stagger

Laying all twisted together and exposed like roots on a river bank

Bam, bam, bam! The earth off its axis

The first draft’s in ashes and smeared on our faces

Oh, Javelin! Oh, Javelin unlanding

Oh, Javelin! Oh, Javelin unlanding
