the toothless kiss of skeletons
|
and the summer hail
|
I'm the king of nails
|
|
I drink my liquor from the palm
|
of a child who spoke in tongues
|
and smelled like sun
|
|
give all your leaves
|
to the ghosts in the trees
|
to sink or to shine
|
the nails are all mine
|
|
and blood was rushing up the stairs
|
I shut my eyes and killed the cock
|
when the sun came knocking
|
oh to taste the salty oil
|
of your chest and on your eyes
|
when the sting is on the rise
|
|
sleep in the fire
|
with snakes I have sired
|
to sink or to shine
|
the nails are all mine
|
|
I drink my liquor from the palm
|
of a child who spoke in tongues
|
and smelled like sun
|
|
the toothless kiss of skeletons
|
and the summer hail
|
I'm the king of nails
|
|
give all your leaves
|
to the ghosts in the trees
|
to sink or to shine
|
the nails are all mine
|
|
sleep in the fire
|
with snakes I have sired
|
to sink or to shine
|
the nails are all mine
|
