LYRICS: 
Now you're gone, 
but your breath 
is everywhere I still want you to be. 
Chicago fires 
so full of death 
could never keep your spirit far from me. 
Falling off the glyphs, 
nothing corresponds to what you mean, 
and every word is set aside. 
Five degrees below, 
far too cold to walk into the sea, 
and no one sees the rising tide. 

Now we're breathing as one, like two rays of the sun 
Now we're breathing as one, like two rays of the sun 

Translate the code 
but not the words, 
keep patching up the holes with love and bliss. 
Old dream mine roads 
and coffin clothes, 
no love escapes this last necropolis. 
Let me come inside, 
keep me breathing through these former lives 
in places no one ever finds. 
Calling up the past, 
nothing left if all these memories 
are buried deep inside your mind. 

Now we're breathing as one, like two rays of the sun 
Now we're breathing as one, like two rays of the sun 

Egypt had it right, your long eyelashes glide, 
like irises, Osirises are guarding me tonight. 
Whispering these signs, numbers in my mind, 
so let it be, just come to me like jackals in the night.

  Girl, I’ll make a mink stole from the Spanish Moss 
And drag a shot of whiskey up from the river bottom 
We ain't got to swallow our pride! 
We ain't got to swallow our pride!  
Gimmie a long kiss goodbye, hold your heart
 Be sure and tell em all just why I shot him
 Don't ever let em catch you cryin!
Don't ever let em catch you cryin!  

Come on lady i been waitin patient pacing playing the wall for maybe half of the night 
You been playin hard to get, you taste your fingertips, you dip into the glass and spin the ice
  The heat is on the kettle now, we'll never settle down, and darlin i ain't asking for life 
Let's blow some steam, and spin across the planks and beams, I wanna dance and shake the rafters and lights
  Old John Law's gonna drag our asses through the streets 
When he slaps them cuffs on my hands I want blisters 
Blisters on my feet
Blisters on my feet
Blisters on my feet
Bring that chorus back for me!  

CHORUS

  I ain't never seen a man who could make sense of what the good lord is asking us right
 I wasn't born to kill, but baby, that's just morning’s pill that we don't have to swallow tonight  
All our friends had bitter ends with broken bottle hands and cigarettes for lashes on eyes
 So let's collapse on boulevards of bottle caps, and sing a song for all the crap in our lives. 
  I know we got blues beating down our door 
Got a time till sunrise, so flip that deadbolt and get back out on the floor  Old John Law's gonna drag our asses through the streets
 When he slaps them cuffs on my hands I want blisters
 Blisters on my feet
Blisters on my feet
Blisters on my feet
Bring that chorus back for me!

CUT THE BODY LOOSE


Attila Ambrus

Greetings kind listeners, will nightmares never cease? Our tragic tale continues (as always):

Possession of the mind is such a terrible malaise... Some transformative urge?  I've not the body of a man from earth. Is this not the face of the one you love..? 

- Steve Glen-Patrick Danziggy


The Smithsfits - William I Turned Into A Martian

The new single from Honey Joy's debut album, out June 30 on Infinity Cat (US)/Everything Sucks(UK)!
