| | | Artist: | Fatima Mansions |
| | Album: | Against Nature | | Track: | Valley Of The Dead Cars | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 102 | | | | Lyrics: | a box full of groceries
rotten clothes, she's torn her knees
in the main street
chill
she sleeps at night in broke-down cars
squints the dreams into her arms
as they
junk you man, have your fill
well she had friends that went abroad and do not
write
she says the hardest ones are those who stay behind
in the valley of the dead
cars
they would end it all if they could starve
sent out their kids to wander the
world
now they can rest at last
you're out scootin' by the graveyard
and you're
looking for a brave eye
could've been your lover but you said you never gave
you have to
be home early or you'll get smacked round the head till bedtime
now you hike the roads on
your half-shod feet
you hump the devil you hump the police
criss-cross harlem playing out
in sequined death
and now she lurches off as haughty as a queen
to take the waters
in old [scubareen?]
in the valley of the dead cars
they would end it all if they
could starve
sent out their kids to wander the world
now they can rest at
last
so i took her back with me to my own true place
which was a mildewed and
disintegrating cottage overlooking a disused waterfall
and we lay there in silence, fruitless
silence until just before dawn
when she rolled over onto me
they come withal in
their japanese cars
they know where the good meal bargains are
and they spy by the side of
the road in the twilight, rain and storm
she juts her thumb in futile haste
contempt
to her is sweet to taste
the nuns told her do not waste sensation
when the towns are
all just smoking empty shells
she will still be here doing what she does well
in the
valley of the dead cars
at the mouth of a flooded mine
i will embrace you hard
and
we'll wait for the sun to shine
in the valley of the dead cars
the valley of the dead cars | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
