You Can Always Tell a Haylow Girl

from Gods of the Dead by Carlton Heston

/

lyrics

You can always tell a haylow girl
by the wild look in her eyes.
Feeding on the frenzy at the mouth of a priest,
feeling naked in the cold black night.
People that defamed her, now they're calling her name
but they never see her melting in the sad sunlight
of a ball that's false but when the night falls rabid dogs come drooling, gnawing at the lie.

Sifting through the maelstrom at the center of her face
She peels back on waves of soul
As the pieces fall in place.

On action!
And there she goes again,
finally in heaven
but still blowing in the wind.

They set her stone in willow's shame
but she won't know or care.
As they decay, her sickness lives
in tumored urban air.
Hiding in the backways,
bones breaking in the dark.
If they haven't caught up with what's been done,
they were always falling far.

Those ancient days she synthesizes,
thunderclouds burst out of her eyes.
Darkness falls in the forest,
but no one sees or hears at all.

Distraction!
And there she goes again.
Dreamy things don't ever last
somewhere in the wind.

If you're reading this - Gods of the Dead is the good one. Listen to that first if you're going to listen to anything on here. It's actually pretty solid.

Atlanta Monsters' Ball is also nice.
