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
