I watched you writing thank you cards
In the Young's portico
It was the first time I missed you
Though the second time I'd go
All the other women were different debts to me you owed
Because I've never lost never lost
And I don't plan on starting now
I want you to ask me about my work
And ask me what I believe
I love the small noise you make as you shake your head and agree
I want to sit across the table from you the rest of my life
Because I've never lost
Never lost
And I don't plan on starting now
I used to be a real beauty
But my standing drew my wives
Their fathers doing favors
I was happy to oblige
But if you ever leave me
I’ll carve my initials in your side
I love you I love you I love you I do
But I've never lost never lost And I don't plan on starting now

A Hallelujah

Where shall I go from your spirit?
I could settle on the far side of the sea
I could take the wings of the morning
Even there your hand shall lead
You have created my inmost
you knit me together in the womb
your eyes saw my unformed body
So every motion points to you
Hallelujah
you see through us

There was blood all over the meadow
but none of it was mine
they had already surrendered
So all the fire came from our side
The men had ran for cover
and left their women all alone
We were civilized men
But we buried their children with their moms
I thought of pontius Pilate
but there was no water to wash my hands
so I wiped the blood of the gentile
onto this once beautiful land
I don’t care about your world
You can keep your god damned world
Glory hallelujah
I had to save you from yourself
"I would have given worlds,
were they at my command,
if I could have averted that calamity"
If It could be taken from my hands
Even David was a killer
But his orders came from above
It takes a braver man
to not kill for those he loves
I don’t care about your world
You can drown with your god damned world
But When No one's left beyond my rifle
It'll just be the war with myself

If you're looking for the lonely girls they're with me
In a dirt floor cabin in west Tempe
I buried all their lovers when they married me
I didn't think they all could leave
Brigham sends money but not quite enough
We are two to a plate and even more to a bunk
Please return quick once you’ve gathered enough
I need your soft voice and cooling touch
Agatha won't you stay
When everyone else goes away
Prepare me a place within your open arms
Agatha I know you feel more than most
and your capacity for love means your heart hangs low
I know I've never been quick to keep our oaths
but I want to see you healed and I want to see you grow
Turn your eyes
Im the first in the lifeboats
why do I get to survive?
And the things of earth
Were built for my archival
just a spree killer running out of brides

It haunts me while I’m sleeping
Where we are no longer married
And I wake up
In La Libertad
I stumble down the beaches
Finally defeated
Without you
In La Libertad
It’s never cold here
But never Christmas
Always lonely
in spirit Vegas
salvame de libertad
Divorced dads
Sing drinking songs
Extended stay
But never stay long
Salvame de libertad
I broke off
Exactly two
Of my two hands
Digging for you
Salvame de libertad
If Canaan
Is where you are
Then why are you so far
Salvame de libertad
They promised
Good news
But they won’t get me like you used to
Holy choirs
And cartoons
I had plenty with you in the room
Im too young
To be without you
I’ve been in your bed
Every Curfew
Salvame de libertad

I learned that I loved you
As I watched you across the yard
It was the first time I found you
Though you never made it that hard
when Jesus christ crossed the plains
and found his Mexican bride
All prophets pagans and thieves
Went quiet at the same time
I'm just so scared that I'll miss you
long after I'm dead
Your not tragedy or curse your carved rib from hot hot earth
You scrubbed the blood from my jeans
And Held church in the yard
Taught Our sons how to wash
And lemon out their violent parts
And I wished I could cut you loose
And watch you catch fire
But I’d be a terrible mother
And you never seem to tire
I learned that I love you
I want to learn just how to
Do some love with you
But I couldn’t make it across the yard
I wanna be bought
and almost lost
be able to make you cry
or tie your stomach knots
I wasted so much time
is it too late to learn to love me

Charlot in the corner
Charlot with no E
Charlot in other countries
means "everything" to me
Charlot on the dresser
When no one’s at home
Charlots always caught though
Cause shes never really alone
Charlot slaying hard times
Charlot breaking bread
Charlot cracking smiles
into unsuspecting heads
Charlot, fire and water
splashing in the Sun
Everyone else burning
But Charlots having fun
I'd never seen myself in a daughter
until Charlot made em bleed
defending a wounded rattler
that just bit her among the weeds
Charlot slayed hard times
Charlot broke the bread
Charlot cracked the smiles
into unsuspecting heads

Chief Big Foot Lies Lifeless in the Snow
Jerusalem
Oh Jerusalem
Your fathers have failed you I pray you'll rise up in spite of them
I had that dream again
surrounded by all my friends
they'd pinned you with arrows and were looking to me for encouragement
Id ask you to love me long after I'm gone but what reason have I given you to mourn
Agatha
I need to protect you
But all the captains of the world couldn’t protect a single curl from my abuse
Goliath fell
and he loved his people too
But his ferocious protection drew him closer to the stone that David threw
When someone told me you had left
I swear It scared me half to death
Come take me home
Come take me home
Just come get me
Please Come put me down for bed
and run you fingers through my head
Come take me home
Come take me home
Just come get me
Why am I weary of your success?
Why should You cling to this violent mess?
Come take me home
Come take me home
Just come get me
For every son a mother
For every mother a fetter
We are Born asunder
You either bare your captor
Or another mother
Jerusalem
Oh Jerusalem
our fathers have failed you I pray i'll rise up in spite of them
Agatha
Agatha
our mothers are buried under mistresses they married to punish them
