You lift your cup full of medicine, drink
Two lips that lost the flush of pink
A pile of ashes makes a mountain range
You sift your dirt with a dose of strange
A jackrabbit foot on the highway at dawn
Ten rusty cars parked out on the lawn
The mercury gets well below cold
Makes even young bodies lock 'em like the old
It's a tragedy, a miracle that this pleasure's now a pain
Your mind's made up set the planet in the retro grey
You're tripping, misstepping this thing cannot be saved
No death, after dark just suspension in an aeroplane
Damnation
I got what you serve
This damnation
More than I deserve
The crow lost it's feather's beyond the yard
It flies well below crippled and scarred
You drag your coffin way far to the stakes
And tuck yourself in to lie with your faith
It's a tragedy, a miracle that this pleasure's now a pain
Your mind's made up set the planet in the retro grey
You're tripping, misstepping this thing cannot be saved
No death, after dark just suspension in an aeroplane
Damnation
I got what you serve
This damnation
More than I deserve
Damnation
I got what you serve
This damnation
More than I deserve
Damnation
(The river's risen and extinguished the flame)
Damnation
(The means are different but they all sound the same)
Damnation
(You were the angel in redemption that came)
Damnation
(Bow down the end with your bloody rain)
Damnation
