lyrics

The eastern sun
it splits the drift of dust between
where the window was
and the man I've come to scratch the back of


here lies Floyd
flexing his milksick muscles
my god he looks good
in his well swept room with his spineless lean


who brought the straps to hold his ankles
who carried in his air
someone should tell him
someone should


an adequate answer to his questions
could be one truth too much
someone should tell him
someone should


cut the garden, kiss the ring
tend to the trembling legs again
pour the oil, rub it in, oh


another cow-mouth summer
in a fecund farmhouse west of eden
all bricks and puddles,
wild edges meeting snakeroot corners


they called him the farmer's big spade
for his hard flat head and long lean legs
he hasn't changed
since he made himself an early bed


so much for all that crumbles being
rationed amongst the rats
someone should tell him
someone should


he saved every brick the wall dropped
to rebuild the other side
someone should tell him
someone should


don't trust what the evening says
the farmer's spade has rusted red
i found his candle lit amongst the wheat


where is the stone?
roll it over
put an end to everywhere
meet the milk
see the foam drip
as the poison moves him
on, moving on
is the light trick
where the sunset meets the
sea
melting waves
into hot dust
into what they cannot be
on, moving on
is the light trick
where the sunset meets the
sea
melting waves
into hot dust
into what they cannot be
