Glory! Glory! Glory!

from Sweetness Up & Sweetness Out by Call Hollow

lyrics

they told you they would let him die at home
Idve done it differently if Id known
Id have let you finish mowing the lawn
before I told you that your father was gone

I looked ridiculous in your coat
you drank to drown the song down in your throat
we cant stay drunk in the yard forever
pretending to know how to know each other

spit it out for me
spit it out and sing
glory! glory! glory!

when the heart gets hungry it sets a trap
and baits it with a telephone whisper
and guarding every gilded lie
the crows that ornament the telephone line
and you got a lot to learn
bout what you do and dont deserve
Im here to sing the long unsung song of all i have done wrong

glory! glory! glory!
to all the warmth Ive wasted
Im sorry I tried to replace it
with sticky bodies, whiskey coffee
and outbound aeroplanes
I am ashamed
of my arrogance, my petulance
of being too proud to ask
anyone for anything
Im spittin it out
Im singin it out
I am ashamed!
