Caleb Groh - Quick-Tempered Conqueror lyrics

Alexander cries under the weight of a conquered world Cutting locks from his conquered curls, babe I've never seen him so low Your sister was a right fool to negate The Great's rule Now we're locked in a lean-to with a puzzle and a jar of halibut stew [Chorus] Maybe we were bound to bray in the belly of a whale Maybe God was come to say, "Jonah got to go obey" Your jukebox howls, "I'm a karaoke wolf, honey" And he cries into the night to the tune of Always On My Mind That cats in the backyard take a call to Jacquard And they mew while they stitch hems, at their leisure on the Calico fence [Chorus] Maybe we were right to say things were better in the whale Maybe God was come to say, "Every flower wilts away"
