The Banishment

Get away boy
Want you away from my door
Get away boy
Want you away from my door
I know you've been staying out late at night
I know you've been sneaking home before it's light
Coming back you failin' at all that's low
Of things I don't want to know

If you spit in the water
There's no going back to the well
You shame the name of love for me
Spit in water
Oh there's no going back to the well
You shame the memory of your mother
You lie down with dirt
You, you gonna carry that smell

Tonight's not clear
You're not clear
You've been laying with dirt
You're not clear
That's why I'm telling you, you have no family
Now go(please)
Go(please)
Far, far, far

Lonely boy
He's hurtin' so bad inside
Lost whatever kind of lovin' he's known
Lonely boy
He's hurtin' so bad inside
From now on
Gonna feel so alone
Alone, alone

You shouldn't have done that
Oh I know
But then tell him the story of Jelly, the stop of jazz
You've got to have grit to go with the gravy
Pain to go with the song
Out my way Shine I'm gettin' mine tonight
To relive your past with non of the pain is a lie

And for every tale you lace with a lie I'm gonna be there
And so will I Shine, just go ahead and try Shine
I'm gonna drag you through it
Alright Shine lets
