It's 200 years of rust on a gate It wind up like a toy when the wind plays, kid shit She was blowing before the wind, tell them, Blowsy Tell them, blood Moon, tell them, low fog Tell them, dirt road with the rust mailbox at the turn off Turn of the century, turn vogue of late, she feel fly She cry out like a whisper in time They heard she got that spiderweb (Spiderweb), that snake eye drippin' Got that dust skin (dust skin), the fork tongue lickin' for the scent She said: Come on (come on), in the head, though Remember that wood shed somewhere in the memory That's way past dead, though? Like the leaves are brown and the sky is grey And the dreams are shit and the mama ran away Papa drank the gut black, you smoke the Backwoods And now the woods call you back The woods whisper off in wind in the underbrush under skin The Earth crawling all the touch Back to the mouse, back to the snake Back to the, back to the root, back to the day Back to the back to the fire, back to the way the wood burned Back when they told you she couldn't stay And the left looks right when the leaves break Sun and the fall camo On moss so soft that you can't tell steps from breath But they say she don't walk, she float (she float) She float, folklore is a bitch But the Sun will be dipping soon below the ridge And the boards on the bridge are unstable at best And it sways dangerously, a regular test For the village kids, but that's they though And this night light ain't the same, so You got jokes? Oh, this a game? Okay Go 'cross, wait, let the tapes roll She bad, though, she bad, though Come and get your picture, trick, she bad, though Can't see the forest through the trees Everybody come to get them some, but don't nobody leave Don't nobody leave, do not move no leaf She bad, though, blow before the breeze And before the ice freeze it all over, come and see Everybody come to get them some, but don't nobody leave You ride squad (squad) to the coven (You got jokes?) Got all the phones running But no bars up on the hillside long forgotten by the future And the jokes flow real easy and the whiskey is a booster It's 200 years of rust on the gate It's an unrelenting crunch underfoot, the leaves deep The autumn left elm skeletons still alive, skin and bone Lumino for the new approaching blood remarking: How beautiful And the old cabin maintains a dilapidated charm, they call it rustic Clothesline hanging across the yard, probably shouldn't trust it Though the sheets are worn, are they worn enough? That math doesn't add up And she laughed like the wind 'cause that's shit they don't ever think of Kid shit, dinner talk, let 'em walk Let 'em enjoy mountain air It's her breath, it's a gift Let 'em get more comfortable Start a fire, have a smoke Take a drink, take a flick What you see in the static when your eyes adjust In the blink of an eye and your mind is dust And you make it outside 'fore your eyes combust Fire ain't give up no lie, just left a powder the same color as 200 years of rust on the gate It bends heavy, the hinge weak Maybe someone find the tape One day they all hear the wind speak She bad, though, she bad, though Come and get your picture, trick, she bad, though Can't see the forest through the trees Everybody come to get them some, but don't nobody leave Don't nobody leave, do not move no leaf She bad, though, blow before the breeze And before the ice freeze it all over, come and see Everybody come to get them some, but don't nobody leave
