Sheep
Lyricist:Oldham Joseph Will
Born in sheep's blood, plain and simple Washed out of my mother's temple All around, I heard them laughing As father sheep had stood there calving
Black they were with white eyes gleaming Right in leaven life was seeming Brittle wind blew snow upon me I got blanketed all white and frosty
In my time I grew and killed them Or out of memory I willed them And willed in a greater history Out of massacre and mystery
Was no longer wealthy, wholly Nor anything I could grasp fully Someone rush to re-inject me Gods of gods, won't you protect me?
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Fixed my face and marching onward Marching, running, ever forward Buildings were a bloody vessel Edging me below the trestle
There in coal and whitened gravel I built a shield of wooden baffle Inside of which I raised a fire So I could tonight retire
Everyone will tell you it's evil to be A free-thinking pecker like Bonnie old me But I'll flex my armies and blow out my gut And prove I'll be loved by any old slut
Look here in my wallet It's loaded and true And now we can leave here And go and find you
