Neko Case

My Uncle's Navy
These memories are bitter in mood I'd cut them out myself if that were possible Kind you cry yourself blind about Kind that choke you out, choke you out Had an uncle who was not by blood Liked to scare all the little girls away And if you're tenderhearted you should stop the tape Snap the tape He pulled the heads off of garter snakes I cried so helpless for those dyin' creatures You know I cried so hard I pissed myself Twistin' away from the horror In the dark at sea Memories wear thick coats The kind that pull you down By refusin' to drown You're choked under the shape Of a sailor A sailor Deputized by the cruel god of children No running water in his soul, just a hole Echoed when he called your name from down the hall Letras de cancionesHis name was a command that cuts the ears off fightin' dogs Then wipes the knife on his militia pants Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains And he's braggin' all the while If I say that black is blue it's blue, black is blue if I say it is Black is blue, black is blue if I say it is I never wondered what made him that way Bullies are not born, they're pressed into a form And I hated those who gave him access to our days, the ones who did nothin' I still can't love them Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains In the dark at sea Memories wear thick coats The kind that pull you down By refusin' to drown You're choked under the shape Of a sailor A sailor A sailor Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains From Letras Mania
