lyrics

Thing in the Barn

I rise up before morning while the Sun’s still asleep
sling my tools across my shoulder, watchful as I creep
unlock the barn door, mindful of that old Creak
I got some work to do that you best not ever speak

Beetles in the bone box supping on the skulls
nails rusting water, gas can’s nearly full
take this revolver and aim it at the Moon
pull on this ripcord and ask your final Boon

Musty canvas tarps over dry spider bones
put away your map child, we’re a long ways from home
a night of shoveling coal and day of quiet rest
the bruise upon my forehead warns others that I’m Blessed

Beetles in the bone box supping on the skulls
nails rusting water, gas can’s nearly full
take this revolver and aim it at the Moon
pull on this ripcord and ask your final Boon

Sparkplugs and dried corn are the Offerings I leave
I sit and listen carefully as the Hills tell me of their needs
packing up my belongings to the whispering of the Trees
I slip through the Night as it do as it please

I’m off to the Docklands on a steamer heading South
my traveling companions all keep their money in their mouths
I look at my watch and Smile at the Time
that Thing in the Barn, such a poetic crime
it breathes on its own now, and not a moment too soon
bows its head in Respect to receive Blessings of the Moon

Beetles in the bone box supping on the skulls
nails rusting water, gas can’s nearly full
take this revolver, shoot it at the Moon
pull on this ripcord and ask your final Boon.
