taken in an iron grip
I believe that I am falling
and in the street lamps, 2 am
I’ve caught myself in dreaming
my ghost, my velveteen swamp
all caked along the evening
I shed the bones I’ve crawled upon
to get a chance at nothing
who are you to come on down
and rap at my door
tear the floor
kitchen sink angel
looking oh so swell
the child denies his mother
for a taste of something sweet
the dog denies his owner
to break for the street
and you, the horse who rides me back
to show me where I came from
holy antidote, let me go
from what I have become
who are you to come on down
and rap at my door
scratch the floor
kitchen sink angel
looking oh so swell
