One by One by One
Kentucky coal dust canary
The darker the mine, the later I realized
The sleep in the cage I once carried
Was kissed into death by the hot cigar breath of
UnCommonwealthy bastards in their
Mothball polyester jackets
Closing all the doors to to keep the
Fresh air from the children sleeping
Through another school day
Teachers tearing down the Capitol
As I lay in the bluegrass
Am I deaf to the call
Oh, the red birds of autumn
Curse me the good-hearted boy who did nothing at all
While the governor shot them
One by one by one
Desperate November come creeping
A hospital bill for a miracle pill
But I know I'll remember the feeling
The look on your face of transitional phases winter into spring awoken
Voted out the tribe has spoken
Dancing now for future rain
The fields are growing green again
The table's set the wine is poured
And I'm too tickled pink to ask for more
As I lay in the bluegrass
Whistling along with the call
Oh, the red birds of autumn
Up from the nest altogether, divided they fall
Sing 'We got him, we got him'
One by one by one
The darker the mine, the later I realized
The sleep in the cage I once carried
Was kissed into death by the hot cigar breath of
UnCommonwealthy bastards in their
Mothball polyester jackets
Closing all the doors to to keep the
Fresh air from the children sleeping
Through another school day
Teachers tearing down the Capitol
As I lay in the bluegrass
Am I deaf to the call
Oh, the red birds of autumn
Curse me the good-hearted boy who did nothing at all
While the governor shot them
One by one by one
Desperate November come creeping
A hospital bill for a miracle pill
But I know I'll remember the feeling
The look on your face of transitional phases winter into spring awoken
Voted out the tribe has spoken
Dancing now for future rain
The fields are growing green again
The table's set the wine is poured
And I'm too tickled pink to ask for more
As I lay in the bluegrass
Whistling along with the call
Oh, the red birds of autumn
Up from the nest altogether, divided they fall
Sing 'We got him, we got him'
One by one by one
