Silver Mt Zion - 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons lyrics

Blackout at the terror trials It's the sixth year of their wars I'm pacing shotgun hallways While my f**ing neighbor snores But I swear I hear them cannon Six miles out from shore There's ravens in the gum trees There's ravens in the gum trees There's ravens in the gum trees There's ravens in the gum trees Singing "This one by proxy" Singing "That one by gun" Singing "This one in water" Singing "That one in blood" Singing "This one by proxy" Singing "That one by gun" Singing "This one in water" Singing "That one in blood" I live by the railroad I don't get no sleep Four corners resplendent With indie-rock creeps I just want some action I just want some action I just want some action I just want some action I just want some action I just want some action This bright boy's getting old This town is too damn cold I just want some action I just want some action I just want some action I just want some action No heroes on my radio No heroes on my radio No heroes on my radio No heroes on my radio The economics Of our trembling selves The palsied pits Where bad hearts yell Let it be done Let it be soon 13 blues For thirteen moons You're cold of heart And golden wings Are lashed upon Your troublings This filthy moat In which we swim Is not our fate These stubborn limbs These open hands These wicked winds The hearts of birds Keep on thunderin' Let it fall down Man, let it be soon 13 blues For thirteen moons In gated chambers They did meet With cardboard stockings Upon their feet And tattled long Their tattered road And none did ease No other's load The leaden lips Of spittled gloom Where leaders lunch On meat and ruin And depth and light Have long been truant While our nations shores Go on bleeding into The ocean Let it fall down Let it be soon 13 blues For thirteen moons The hangman's got a hard-on The pretty minstrels sway The pundit reeks of coffin The banker rapes a maid The hangman's got a hard-on The pretty minstrels sway The pundit reeks of coffin The banker rapes a maid We will not sing in your damn parade We will not sing in your damn parade We will not sing in your damn parade We will not sing in your damn parade We will not sing in your damn parade We will not sing in your damn parade We will not sing in your damn parade We will not sing in your damn parade We will not sing in your damn parade We will not sing
