Saltgrass
Mississippi girl
Pull your corset down
Dance around the moon like when you were young and all alone
Neptune rides upon a bigger wave
Surged across the land
To claim the inland sea
We've been shucked away, the praxis of graft
Yeah, that's Justice on the half shell
Yeah now, that's Justice on the half shell
Empire of our sons... chased by the sea
Brackish torrents pull the cypress down
And now MRGO
All your big ideas
Not aware of the cost
Venice sinks below with every rising tide
Shortened is the way down highway 23, till it's gone
Yeah, til it's gone
My ill fated home
Nothing ever matters 'til it's gone
My ill fated home
Nothing ever matters til it's gone
Flood the crypt and raise the bones to seethe
Stronger than the juju of a mambo queen
Even saltgrass needs dregs to seed,
No silt to grow our roots, just salt to pack the bleed
The black waters guarding Delacroix
The crying eagles of the Calcasieu, where have they gone
Where have they gone
My ill fated home
Nothing ever matters 'til it's gone
My ill fated home
Nothing ever matters til it's gone
Mississippi Girl
Pull your corset down
Dance around the moon like when you were young and all alone
Neptune rides upon a bigger wave
Surged across the land
To claim the inland sea
We've been shucked away, the praxis of graft
Yeah, that's Justice on the half shell
Yeah, that's Justice on the half shell
Yeah, that's Justice on the half shell
Yeah, that's Justice on the half shell
Pull your corset down
Dance around the moon like when you were young and all alone
Neptune rides upon a bigger wave
Surged across the land
To claim the inland sea
We've been shucked away, the praxis of graft
Yeah, that's Justice on the half shell
Yeah now, that's Justice on the half shell
Empire of our sons... chased by the sea
Brackish torrents pull the cypress down
And now MRGO
All your big ideas
Not aware of the cost
Venice sinks below with every rising tide
Shortened is the way down highway 23, till it's gone
Yeah, til it's gone
My ill fated home
Nothing ever matters 'til it's gone
My ill fated home
Nothing ever matters til it's gone
Flood the crypt and raise the bones to seethe
Stronger than the juju of a mambo queen
Even saltgrass needs dregs to seed,
No silt to grow our roots, just salt to pack the bleed
The black waters guarding Delacroix
The crying eagles of the Calcasieu, where have they gone
Where have they gone
My ill fated home
Nothing ever matters 'til it's gone
My ill fated home
Nothing ever matters til it's gone
Mississippi Girl
Pull your corset down
Dance around the moon like when you were young and all alone
Neptune rides upon a bigger wave
Surged across the land
To claim the inland sea
We've been shucked away, the praxis of graft
Yeah, that's Justice on the half shell
Yeah, that's Justice on the half shell
Yeah, that's Justice on the half shell
Yeah, that's Justice on the half shell
