about

From the upcoming full-length, THE OLD HUSH

lyrics

Sound of Harlem in the rain
sane now, bottle here to blame
night owl, diamonds in the pond
wife now, widow by the dawn light
widow by the dawn

Red light, hollow out the horse
painted, ready by the door
dead broke, thunder round the clock
Charlotte made him talk in Tucson
said the money’s in the doll
the money’s in the doll

That mad dog broke loose
headed out of hell to Baton Rouge
our father full of fireworks
said wouldn’t you like to know
the money’s in the doll
said the money’s in the doll

Rembrandt put you in a frame
lifelike, no one knew your name
a dollar gets you on the hook
bite down, Charlie’s on the lookout
and no one knew your name

The highway, rolls you like a dice
better off in Santa Fe with
Pharaoh smoking spice
flash house, ivory is cheap
swimming through the madness
just to say it in your sleep
the money’s in the doll
said the money’s in the doll

That mad dog broke loose
headed out of hell to Baton Rouge
our father full of fireworks
said wouldn’t you like to know
the money’s in the doll
said the money’s in the doll

Sound of Harlem in the rain
sane now, bottle here to blame
night owl, diamonds in the pond
wife now, widow by the dawn light
widow by the dawn
