Bambara Made For Me
[Verse 1]
I watch you cry again
In the only bar tonight that's slow
Wearing the dress I met you in
All those years ago
Now you say, "If there is a Hell
That's where you'll be
Consumed by pain you never felt but
You caused in me"
[Chorus]
Lit cigarettes will rain
As you feed my bones to hungry strays
You'll kiss each one and give them names
Using my ribs for games
[Verse 2]
Try to read some stranger's thoughts
Through his piss-drunk, pale-eyed stare
Then I order another shot
And I start to pet your hair, "There, there"
You plucked me out of the wind
Like some insect whirling by, yeah
Though I never stopped stinging
You kept me alive
[Chorus]
Lit cigarettes will rain
On a field where horses roam untamed
See you running with them through the flames
Wildflowers in their manes
As you lead the stampede my way
[Bridge]
Or maybe it's shivers and snow
An ocean of ice on frostbitten toes
Where whales sing their sad songs beneath my feet
And a girl with long dark hair
Glides between them with ease
Hey
[Verse 3]
When Death comes driving through
Saying, "Son, take a seat"
I'll say, "Only if you're heading to
The Hell she made for me"
[Chorus]
Your cigarettes will rain
Burning holes into my face
Hold out my tongue like an ashtray
Try to taste your lips through the pain
