mia kelly - oleander lyrics

Loading...

mary worked at the liquor store
stacking her bottles since before i was born
her old skin sad on her yellow bones
oh selling moonshine, ‘till the men go home

in mary’s town, there ain’t much to do
slow as molasses, the days seep through
the bitter church, the general store
a couple sun+dried sinners with a heavy pour

the people knew tom baker’s name
a violent creature, he made his famе
on the backs of the women that hе pinned down
like a hungry dog, tom made his rounds

and every time tom came in
the thirsty hound made mary’s skin crawl
she knew what he’d done
to the girls in town, another one and done

the bottle’s barely empty
the sentence paid in full

one thick night in the summertime
choking on thoughts in her sweaty mind
she hatched a plan, by the oleander
avenge is sweet for the old bystander
a dozen drops, no one would know
then silently, old tom would grow
stiff, cold
and buried in the yard where the old dogs go

the bottle’s barely empty
sentence paid in full
innocent is mary
so the gavel rules
