branches - jeroboam lyrics
[verse 1]
jeroboam dreamed a golden dream
of golden lands and golden things
and ivory-colored feathered wings, wings, wings
[verse 2]
voices in the honey breeze
pushing on the honeybees
and shaping beds from fallen leaves, leaves, leaves
[verse 3]
the writer showed him all of these
and filled his nose with pretty things
and let him taste of eden’s trees, trees, trees, trees
[chorus]
but in the light came a warring sound
of greedy blood on hallowed ground
jeroboam and his heavy eyes made a civil war inside
his tongue stuck stiff behind his t–th
his voice got tangled in his grief
and jeroboam made a thief, thief, thief
[verse 4]
so the writer penned him a different tale
where proud get caught in homemade sails
and crave the jewels on the wedding veil, veil, veil
[verse 5]
jeroboam cried for more
clutching at the temple torn
the writer filled his hands with sores, sores, sores
[verse 6]
so arm yourselves with empty hands
when looking at the promised land
and find yourself a wealthy man
