lyrics

High as kites, making that medicine, jawing with the dead and gone…home.

Come spirit, pick me up. I need a lift, a cloven tongue to sit atop my head and make sense of the things I’ve said.
Tonight we just don’t care, throw caution to the wind, we dare
Our ignorance is bliss, we’ll save our best for worse than this.

High as kites, making that medicine, jawing with the dead and gone…home.
Holy Ghost, Brother it’s a weapon, I’m walking on the devil’s backbone…home.

Our road is paved with sage advice we tell ourselves to ease the mind that’s burdened down.
We see our faults to a fault, lord save us from your followers. I always thought it’d finally stop that place the hands of time forgot.
But I was stupid and I’ve been careless with the Holy Ghost. The wordless gurgle, tongues of Babel and the Holy
Ghost!
