Iron & Wine - Big Burned Hand lyrics

rate me

When the arrogant goddess of love came to steal my shoes

She had a white-hot pistol and a noname hard tattoo

Saying one's to give

And one's to take away

But neither of them will keep you off your knees

The children bowed and bolted off the stage

While the lion and the lamb kept fighting for the shade tree

And the ransom God of war came to set me free

He had a couple of cold bottles full of gasoline

Saying all I love is all that I allow

You blew me a kiss of a big burned hand

Get each up with smoke and fell down

While the lion and the lamb kept shooting at a tin can

When the gun-shy goddess of love came back to patch things up

She had a purple heart and mother's milk in a plastic cup

Saying he loves to lay you gently in the grave

He loves the flag you fold before you go

When the curtain rolls the crowd is blown away

While the lion and the lamb kept fucking in the back road
