skunkish Songtext
von Califone

When did I become the thief in the story
That you wear on your face like a mask?
A McCabe & Mrs. Miller vibe
A winter con hiding in these walls
Just another séance gone

Twist the ring on your finger
(That′s the tell, that's the tell)
Hiding in the curtains ′til it's over
(Just another séance gone)
When did I become the destruction
In the story that you wear
Like an anvil on your back?


Smoke equals hair equals golden eye (rumble and shake) hazy memory
(Rumble and shake) make the table rumble and shake
Rumble and shake (rumble and shake) rumble and shake (ooh)

(Ooh, yeah)

Burn up (burn up) the story (story)
Bury (bury) the ashes, bury the ashes
The angels (the angels) of sweet subtraction and glory
Always and ever hovering over your shoulder (rumble and shake)
Waiting (rumble and shake) for the séance to go off the rails
Waiting (rumble and shake) to blind you
Waiting to enter you (rumble and shake)

Making the table rumble and shake (rumble and shake)
Rumble and shake (rumble and shake) rumble and shake
Rumble and shake (rumble and shake) rumble and shake
Rumble and shake (rumble and shake) rumble and shake
Rumble and shake (rumble and shake) rumble and shake
Rumble and shake
