Bell Book And Candle Lyrics

Bell Book And Candle lyrics

this town:

near-demilitarized.

carrier pigeons

commit ritual
suicide.



pleas for pity

and blank responses collide.

tied to their ankles.

tied like tired anchors.



but i
know

you drink

like a fish out of water

and your everywhere,
everywhere,

without a drop for me.



we were land lovers

together.

or don't you remember?

don't you remember?



and between empties and keys

i know you've fought wars.



but your a regular

Benedict when you wander, like

a derelict,

house to house.

you're a regular

traitor.



we stood
and shook red-handed,

burying the hatchet,

even as our legs cried
out

to run in different directions.



the innest crowd is
throwing up last night's party

on a floor that isn't theirs

'til
even their bodies hate their guts.



we've worked this swords to
ploughshares

and back until our shared secrets were cannon fodder,

and comforts caused a coup d'etat.



bell, book, and candle.



so are you gonna to drop me like your morals?

you gonna drop me
like you promised?

you gonna drop me like our ideals?

gonna drop me
like our dreams?

or are you gonna drop me like your concern

for
others and being honest?

you gonna drop me like all logic?

beyond
reason, there you are.



(you can't draw the bow back and blame the
arrow.)



(we stood and shook red handed,

burying the
hatchet,

even as our legs cried out to run.)
