The Dirt Of The Vineyard

Cursive


Less talk, more dancing 
If we could push off the sick conversation one more night 
I surely would 
My shoes have gathered the dust of the vineyard 
Have I soiled your gown? 
There's soil on your gown, like sangria 
Cleanses the heart 
Our clogged hearts are choking on the grime 
As the big band waltzes on 
Your stranded eyes whisper... 

"The dirt is out. 
I can smell her on your velvet hands." 
The dirt is out -- 
are we stuck in the motions again? 

Oh, but was it sweet 
In the vineyard 
Sangria, won't you bless 
The starving lips 
Such virgin lips 
Would choke on all this grime 
I've found some dirt under my nails 
I'll scratch and bite until... 

The dirt is out 
but sangria burns under my skin 
The dirt is out -- 
I thought I'd never wash these hands again 

Under my skin....
