Freakwater - Flat Hand lyrics

rate me

Flat hand, open palm<br />

Your mouth was screaming, your eyes were calm<br />

Flat land, 23rd Psalm<br />

Little Bo Peep, your sheep done gone<br />

<br />

Flat hand to leave no trace<br />

Mark where the nail went, left a scratch across your face<br />

Flat land, glittering strand<br />

Lover’s angels banished from the sand<br />

<br />

No eyes shine brighter<br />

To the flailing, failing fighter<br />

Who once held above her head<br />

A glowing trembling lighter<br />

<br />

No heart pounds harder to the sinking, drinking martyr<br />

Who trembled on the bank<br />

As her last dream boat sank<br />

Beneath the deep and sleepless water<br />

<br />

Holy Mary, hold the phone<br />

I want a little baby that’s all my own<br />

Hold the line, hold me tight<br />

I got a hole in my arm and I can’t get it right<br />

<br />

Holy flesh, howlin’ bones<br />

Run off and left me, all alone<br />

Hopped up boy, hothouse frail<br />

I got a hole in my arm and I know, I’m bound to fail<br />

<br />

Blood of my blood is what you are<br />

No wise man’s gift sent from afar<br />

Blood of my blood flows through your veins<br />

And bound our hearts in crimson chains
