Godless Brother in Love

Godless brother in love

You might as well

Lay down that rose

And fold the flag



She hears money and

Taps that broken freedom bell

See her big children burning rags

By the riverside



You can hear them on the hilltop laughing

Cursing every bird in the air

Telling her what fun they're having

Driving eyes closed



Godless brother

As far as I can tell

The night won't compensate the blind



She looks lovely

As lightning, oh, but what the hell

Her big kids all run down the road

With no memories at all



And you can hear them on the hilltop laughing

Cursing every bird in the air

Telling her what fun they're having

Driving eyes closed
