john congleton and the nighty nite – in my hospital gown lyrics
it would be a shame to see your new dress all dirty
from temporal gathers, dead drunks that slather around your christmas tree
never can we seem, never can we seem to get clean
we were stretching, fleshy pressing, fumbling for our dreams
each of us grabs without thinking, as useless as pennies
we’re satisfied with the loot of the lowest hanging fruit
we count blessing
see if you fold your hands and if you pray to god
you will still be a lifer wandering the prison yard
see if we’re all good men or walter benjamin
there still is nothing learned and no resolving end
so can i get an amen?
squeak and jibber drop clues like litter to goose and to golden egg
but if the hen don’t give us food, the hen’s the food instead
you’d slaughter your dumb hen as an offering, a godsend
in my hospital gown directing traffic somewhere downtown
with the blood in my hair, the blood seems to get everywhere
so daughter fist your hand to ward the filthy men
but there is no resolution, no satisfying end
can i get an amen?
oh you and me…
we got a glimpse of something
maybe something we shouldn’t see
we saw the butler hiding bodies
oh you and me…
it banged its broom on the bottom floor
it’s smelling blood and it’s wanting more
and now its foot is stuck in our door
oh you and me…
we had our ear to the wall listening
we heard a song that we couldn’t sing
but the tune was too far fetching
oh you and me…
some of us heard too much
some of us saw too much
and now we see it stare back at us
oh you and me…
once we get our hands around this thing
there will be an awakening
will we want to see what it brings?
can i get an amen?
