Swearing At The Sky

from Amuser by Ben Roque

/

lyrics

Cinder block by an old fence post
pieces of a scarecrow lying in the road
weeping on the avenue is all I heard
she wasn’t back in time to find she wasn’t there at all
Wenonah’s on her way back home

It’s a funeral every goddamn day
singing in a strait jacket at the wrong gate
burying the hatchet was the only way
to pay back your mortician before he changed his mind again
Wenonah turns away
Wenonah turns away from home
Wenonah’s on her way back home
She never got away
someone’s orchestrating this

Counting down but you don’t know why
a front row seat with a broken eye
visions of a lit fuse circling the night
she’s spilling out the side to anyone at all
she’s swearing at the sky
