rats and roses - we are winter's blue and radiant children lyrics

Loading...

we slept ‘neath foil blankets
where the tall maples groaned
and then up and through the staggering dawn
beyond the boiling dew and haze
behind the yards and there we found
sunscreen and a dangling respirator

while the pigeons dropped from their eaves
into knots of morning glory and dead leaves
and bl**dy wads, crimson tissue, bl**dy wads
rats in his roses he said and the old man scattered
rats in the his roses the old man scattered poison
one dead cat, two dead rats, and a rotting starling

and the pigeons dropping from their eaves
into knots of morning glory and dead leaves
now his garden is secure and he’s asleep
i caught father, i caught father crying
p*ssing in a drain and all kinds of clouds overhead
and helicopters northward

o child, it’s just the beginning of the light in your eyes
the cats don’t purr no more mothers milk no more
purr no more
o father, lay down and gaze upon what you’ve grown
pesticide and rolling coal
o father, gaze upon what you’re you’ve grown
and choke

- we are winters blue and radiant children lyrics
