Lying on the water, sinking all our plights
Through the air, to its core.
Lying on the evening's wing, light finds me;
It binds my hands to thee.
Walk into the night;
Haunt this instant's sights.
Running after water got her frightened.
Time will move in spirals, and never reach a line;
Let the air do the talking.
My only mistake was letting the darkness in
Too long, along the way.
Walk into the night;
Haunt this instant's sights.
Running above the clouds, where sound is light.

Ballad of Baikal
04:04

|
Airing your dirty, dirty laundry
At the old boys' club
Tonight
Again, and,
Here I am
Banished and brazen with a
Scarlet letter smeared across my face, so
Bring your kerosene and
Bring me
I swear to god I won't make a scene
Oh my lord,
Oh my lord I'm a mess
Grab your brothers and
Grab the reel
And hold on tight despite gelidity
And scream:
"I shouldn't have brought her here,
She wants the moon.
She loved my body and she loved it too soon."
But we can't go ice fishing
On Baikal without
Bearing our earnest will and
Bloody all
Oh my lord,
Oh my lord I'm a mess
Oh my lord,
Oh my lord I did my best
Cheers your brothers,
Brothers in arms
While their women unravel
To dust in homes afar, and
I know you can see me here,
Licking my wounds,
Cleansing my marrow with your
Rusty harpoon, so
Gut your oilfish
Drink your mead
Throw the organs in a bloody heap
Oh my lord,
Oh my lord I'm a mess
Oh my lord,
Oh my lord I did my best
Oh my lord,
Oh my lord I'm a mess
Oh my lord,
Oh my lord
I acquiesce.
