March seventeenth Eighteen infinity Marred by the scene Of family obscenity Bet yourself that you can't do right By everything that you hold dear tight Are you pulling on an endless string If you think that you are then you are and you are Does it make you want to run? Does it make you scared to leave? Whose hand holds you hard? Whose god cares the most? Bought a ticket to a place going East No one knows my name no one knows my face St. Patrick in a world full of snakes Catch your gold on an Arizona train Does it hurt you all the way? Mother, sister in the wake Whose hand holds you hard? Whose god cares thе most? Don't you ever, don't you evеr Don't you ever mess around Don't you ever, don't you ever Don't you ever mess with me Now it's tethered, now it's tethered Now forever fuck with me Does it make you want to run? Does it make you scared to leave? Whose hand holds you hard? Whose god cares the most? "Where'd you go my infant love?" Where'd you go my first born, baby darling?"
