Rasputina Stumpside Lyrics

All that I have is this dull paring knife
     Peeling potatoes for the rest of my life.
     Dirt floors make dust so I hope for the best.
     I carry candies with pains in my chest.
     Face tied together with three-times-used
string.
     Follow me see what I mean.
     Fixing a fencepost or feeding a cow,
     Twopenny saltlick I never ask how.
     Animals like me though folks turn away,
     I like the pigeons I like what they say.
     We come alone and leave alone and look the
horse in the mouth.
     We scratch the skin and break the bone and
see birds migrating south.

     By the side of the stump where she told us
these things
     If you hear a bell ring you get some wings.
     Don't bother looking for what I've neglected
to bring.
     By the side of the stump where she told me
these things
     If you hear a bell ring you get some wings.
     She's fallen farther than feathers that float
in the wind.
     I saw a wishing well down by the stream
     I never understood what wishes mean
     Just ask for nothing you get what you get.
     I asked for something I've not got it yet.
