Lungfish - X-Ray The Pharaoh lyrics

A ball of string The embroidered flower The resting place of the zero hour The gaseous phase The utility knife The mason bag The catheter The saw tooth and the creek clay The truth serum The sound you say The dung stove and the handshake Tha landing strip on the glowing lake The hair pill The memorial cloud The stiff neck to the internal town The church pew at the landfill The buzzards meet on the poison hill The devil sweeps the highway O let me hear the sound you say Skylab The inhabited cave Chaced by ghosts from coast to coast Bury me in my overcoat Sway me with the sound you say The ball-point pen to the notebook page A drink of tap water and a promise made I'll be back in a year or two Don't wait for me I wouldn't wait for you Depth of field going flat The map puts me where I'm at I miss you in a chemical But most of all I miss the sound you say
