Jordaan Mason & the Horse Museum - Wild Dogs: Divorce! lyrics

We went behind the old house, offered our skin Removed it from our branches, and let it be curtains And I asked him where he put the bombs And I asked her where she put the bombs They fed them to the horses We shivered and kissed our linen out And held the horse spirit in our mouth And my beard did break, when it found his faith And my beard did break, when it found her face But there is still one light in your house Far in fields from the city One light is forest fire, left running in the pantry One light is a campfire, in the living room for reptiles And I promise they'll make new skin, between the wars at nightfall Wild dogs, can I confess? I never wanted this marriage Coming home to wife and kids, and failed science experiments Tear down all the laundry lines Let the sickness out of me Tear down all the laundry lines Get the sickness out of me And read this to Cecilia, I nighted with my mother Stomping loudly through the kitchen Off with each other We'd shake our heads free, and left off the lights on Left clothes for ransom, and leave all the legs out And he confessed to raping her, and shared with her his bed And I pulled the telephone, right out of his head He quit his job, pulled his teeth, and moved down to new harbor He stole all my cutting, paid for a lawyer How is a whale k**er in the wasteland for hire He can only get it off, when you set him on fire And now my bashed head can't sole his blood on my back We are broke for bricks, and the house is quiet And I asked him where he put the bombs And I asked him where she put the bombs They fed them to the horses
