Sidewinder Lyrics

Blades of sweetgrass

Welcome me home again

To the blood plates of the mission

Turning your back

Seldom leads close again

To the same old benediction

I traveled back a thousand years

With aching sides and lukewarm beer

To touch my tongue on your heart

When no one asked why you weren't here

My lying eyes and ringing ears

They told me it's a good start

Sidewinder you have a way

Of getting away with me

I'd swallow sandstorms if you'd let me

Sidewinder you must confess

You miss the skin you shed

But hanging onto it's too messy

Paranoiac

You can't love while looking down

When the skeptics get their season

Burning blood pacts

His tall tales are lying now

Rhyming rules without a reason

Your boyfriend blinks as his dad insists

Your cervix shrinks and the ground resists

And there'll be more where that one came from

There's nothing you can do or say

The final judgment's on tape delay

But you won't wanna miss the next one

Sidewinder you have a way

Of getting away with me

I'd swallow sandstorms if you'd let me

Sidewinder you must confess

You miss the skin you shed

But hanging onto it's too messy
