they say, they say
don't open your mouth
when you're breathing
one day, one day
you'll let the devil in
or some demon
will tear out the best of you
and he'll keep it
lay low, lay low
shadow the goldenrod
with your bowed-down head
two notes, two notes
fill up the empty field
like a doorbell
don't let them carry you
under cold ground
i took white sheets
and married myself to the cedar tree
i wrote white snow
and buried it all in an envelope
they say, they say
don't open your mouth
when you're breathing in
one day, one day
you'll let the devil in
or some demon
will tear out the best of you
and he'll keep it
this track brutalizes me emotionally and forces access to things I spend huge amounts of energy burying... its like fuckin ayahuasca... but I love it. Bob Furtado
