What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
She calls you from a room somewhere in the city
2
Hear the sound of the ground through the static and pity
3
There's a vision of you in a bath of red water
4
sitting on her tongue like a silver dollar
5
And between your ears all her words are just litter
6
The alphabet is torn and your spit is getting bitter
7
You could make a mistake and judge her falsely
8
Your bed was just a hole where she couldn't sleep honestly
9
Her hair was the color of the corn where you were born
10
You could hear her voice when the north wind blew
11
and her skin held the sound of the rain on the pane
12
but she carried a knife for to cut you loose
13
She carried a knife for to cut you loose
14
You watch the leaves shiver underneath a black sky
15
Hold the moon in contempt for shedding any light
16
And you hunt the devil down and try to sell your soul
17
but if you want your woman back you'll have to knock her out cold
18
You've got a ring around your finger to prove that she was here
19
A white dress in the attic hanging by the rafter
20
A ghost in your kitchen with flowers in her hair
21
and eyes the color of alabaster
22
Her hair was the color of the corn where you were born
23
You could hear her voice when the north wind blew
24
and her skin was the same as the rain on the pane
25
but she carried a knife for to cut you loose
26
She carried a knife for to cut you loose
