Bottles & Bones (Shade and Sympathy) Songtext
von Califone

Nervous John rescues all the whores
Bleeding nose and all
Taste of metal, when you′re hit straight on
Frozen dimes and throwing flashes
Clouds of angels liquored pink and
underage


Steal your sweet decline
This is the longest goodbye
Loose brakes on a one eyed continental
Engine willing, Interior stained
China rattles wish
The cold pacific shallows
Spells and fits, resurrected
Calls you in

Steal your sweet decline
This is the longest goodbye
Aching to get your pocket picked
Bottles and bones, shade and sympathy
Kick the glass out of your path
Calls you in

Traps for your fingers
Fire for your mouth
Stones for your passage
Brass for your jaded


Underneath the baking clouds and
hardening starless skies
Lick your collarbone clean
And repeat.
