A little blood and vomit on the car seat 
And the tooth is sitting in my lap 
Brother if you're hungry but not wounded 
Then it's time to stop and check the map 

Pilgrim
Where's your head at? 
Are you paying the birds to sing? 
Well it won't work
On the true path 
Where the wretched are growing wings 

If the ancient wisdom came in bottles 
I would tell my terror where to go 
But I don't know who would do the dishes 
'Cause I'd be lying wasted in the road 

Pilgrim
Where's your head at?
Are you paying the birds to sing? 
Meet me
On the true path 
I'll be dizzy from growing wings 

My tears
My tears
My kicking up the love dirt 
I fear
It's the only way 

Pilgrim
Whatcha lookin' at me for? 
My disaster has come and gone 
It left me
By the roadside 
With my shadow
And one more song
