Wild Folk

Been a week with the banshees
Frozen in the mud pit as they scream
Hypnotised by the wide mouths
Swallowing the dense sky prophecies

Hurt creeping up behind us
Seven clean days of raging lust
Queer clovers line up their young
Parrying the daggers thrown at us

When it’s time
To lay me in the ground

Lay me down
On the point
Beneath the sand
Beneath the sand
Is where I’ll be

When it’s time
To lay me in the ground

No weight
Of the earth
Can hold me down
Not when you’re around

Cut off from the real world
Wire was cut before we woke
We can live a little freer girl
Burn all ya clothes now we’re wild folk

Take ya trust and wrap it up babe
In mother’s woven blanket made for this
I’ll guard it with my life, ayy
A fist to save the diamonds in your finger tips

When it’s time
To lay me in the ground

Lay me down
On the point
Beneath the sand
Beneath the sand
Is where I’ll be

When it’s time
To lay me in the ground
No weight
Of the earth
Can hold me down
Not when you’re around

Shapes
Wander
In the black
Chills
Down my spine
Take
All I
Ever had
She’ll still be mine

'Cause when you know, you know, you know
Yeah, when you know, you know
'Cause when you know, you know, you know
Yeah, when you know, you know

Reflections in the mirror
Don’t recognise the man I saw
But I'm glowing when I hear her
Speak to me the way she always did before
