There is There is a drought In the middle of the vessel That I have learned to call my own Three crows sit on my skull They sing their hymns as we walk home slow There is a drought In the middle of the vessel That I have learned to call my own Three crows sit on my skull They sing their hymns as we walk home slow There is a drought In the middle of the vessel That I have learned to call my own Three crows sit on my skull They sing their hymns as we walk home slow I go where they don't know me Smile wide, straight spine, white lies They'll never know what they can't touch, can't see I go slow like oil on a hot road I'll blister on the pavement Before I ever say yes sir, yes sir again I've gnawed the root of the yew tree I've swallowed down the river Yuba But nothing can turn the dust that runs In my guts back into mud cause There is a drought in the middle of the vessel that I have learned to call my own Three crows sit on my skull They sing their hymns as we walk home slow I have mangled and molded my body to fit What would make them strains their necks Praying each time that they would break I drink their swill and I sing their songs But by the time we reach the dawn My jaw hangs low and long On the bank of the nearest lake I suckled on the teat of a creek I nursed myself on the morning dew But no tributary does the trick And this I knew, I knew, I knew for There is a drought In the middle of the vessel That I have learned to call my own Three crows sit on my skull They sing their hymns as we walk home slow On the tongue attached to this body There's one plain need To swallow everything that broke me 'Till I'm all shrapnel, pain and greed 'Till then I'll smile like them and sip their wine With a parched throat and a bit tongue I'll ask them about their jobs, about their wives And I'll guzzle down their tedium cause There is a drought In the middle of the vessel That I have learned to call my own Three crows sit on my skull They sing their hymns as we walk home slow There is a drought In the middle of the vessel That I have learned to call my own Three crows sit on my skull They sing their hymns as we walk home slow
