about

4th song from the self titled debut E.P. by Suicide Swans released on Near Enough records, distributed by Green Media/MGM

lyrics

Well woke up this morning smelling of sin
Mama’s in the kitchen cooking fried chicken again
She can see how, how her kids have grown
Warm up your hands over the pot belly stove

And everyone feels like a BB gun
Washed away, pointless, full adrenaline
Hold a cigarette close to your skin
Stompin on the floorboards, hootin and a hollerin

And I want a union
I want my freedom
And I have searched for the right to choose
And I want my family
I have roamed this country
And if I go out the door
I may never come back to you

Now on the bowery junky bum trannies patrol
Digging up the pain in their rent controlled homes
Smiling beneath your American spirit rolled eyes
Come on now baby why fight it when we can go for a ride

Well snow falls on the train jumping tracks
We fell for each other like old vinyl slack
We pawned our bones on the empty street
We built a world out of want instead of the things that we need

And when we were poor we would drone and sigh
Sometimes depressed and the other times high
The cities like a canyon built out of ghosts
Gonna move back to the country someday and grow old
