lyrics

The day that my first child was born I went out in a hornet swarm to buy a colt .45, d batteries and a bag of seeds. The sky was black the ground was black as black as black no turning back dead monkeys threw their stones at me, from the hypodermic trees.

The day my second child was born, Madeleine kept her safe and warm, in the paper hornet's nest, in the hollow of her breast.

I am your neck-hung albatross, I'm here to help you fathom loss
I am your north star and your southern cross, you'll be home, bye and bye
goodbye my love, I'll see you soon enough. Above the writhing foam, softly southward home.

Maddie hand down my old banjo, I'm gonna hear my children play.
Maddie I can't believe we made it through all that shit into these lovely days!
