lyrics
Tar & Feather
When I met you, we were mountains
The cavern walls could not contain the commotion
Now a new born, in a garden
I shower them with weeds, I meant to say, daisies
Ive seen feathers fall into the dirt beneath my feet
Hear the thunder in the desert
Fix their fangs before you arrive
Ive seen feathers fall into the dirt beneath my feet
And I know that you have come at last
Ive seen feathers fall into the tar I thought would cover me
Parading through the town to reveal
I'm no better than the crowds on the banks
How long will my head rest upon my shoulders
Beware the trickster
It was iron bound
It will kick you when you're down
