Lyrics
At the edge of Priest Lake where the water meets the land
I sat down on a stone by the feathers and needles you left
I came out to complain to the stillnesss but I lost my nerve
Now I'm searching the sky to tell
If there's a heaven to cover our bets laid in hell
Whether i should go home or stay out here and hang myself
These 29 years Im stuck down here I should know more than this
It's all bought and sold from the start if you're losing just quit
It's all bosses and landlords and bankers and presidents
There's no such thing as changing luck
If someone's holding the clover someone's getting fucked
The hunter the hound the cape rush and the reeds or the duck
Corner lots of oblivion we built our houses upon
A chorus of idiots we sing to the saint hangers-on
Promises of disaster just after the praises are sung
The cancer has nothing to say
Just whittles you down and throws you away
And nobody's selling a new disease anyway
The edge of the water is no place for feathers and dope
A whisper to nobody testing the strength of the rope
I came out to complain but there's no one around that I know
And I don't need to see how it ends
What's crooked today will be crooked again
Forever and ever and ever and ever amen
