She Invented Air

from Wild Children by Black Owls

/

lyrics

• She invented air - so you breathe it in
washed by rain - I see you're trembling now
as you lie sleepless in these gambling dens
and on dance hall porticos bending in the wind

She was one love and 99 hates
& you the deadly honeymoon avenger
her dreams conspired to bury you under stone
and then she walked out, leaving you alone

She's your shadow - she's your hearse
You're the mattock and the coffin and the nails
she's bad Friday, a splinter on your church pew
You're pissed you down river, now what do you do?

feel like a bottle - a cork in your throat
bobbing up and down the warm brown river
where will you flow, past the stone & clover
wash up on the shore, rolling over & over
She was one love and 99 hates
& you the deadly honeymoon avenger
her dreams conspired to bury you under stone
and then she walked out, leaving you alone
