Great Bore

Heads in the valley
Houses in rest
Cast out from cities
Widen the west

Cutting it open
Palm of my hand
Drill at the bottom
Put a light in

Oh it reeks like we
Smell like we welcomed the rot and the stench
Bar me down sweetly
Under the rail

Past the droning we
Worked for our sugar
We wept for our tea
Cast in the mortar
Slept only me

Speak incantations from a bed ridden state

Ever we swallow
Is all that we feed
We all caught the arrow
We all spat the seed

If I catch you here
Screaming out sorrows to song birds again
I'll bar you down sweetly
Under the rail
I'll bind and I'll bring you with me
Under the rail
Under the rail
Under the rail
