Freakwater - Bolshevik and Bollweevil Lyrics

the sky was black like caviar
every little egg was a twinkling star
there we made a wish on shooting a falling czar
diamond drawers with a weight to stagger
fools the bullet and blunts the dagger
first we fall then we crawl back with a swagger
I got a letter today
I got a letter to say
I got a letter today
come on home if you can find it
cause the farm is blown away
bolshevik and bollweevil
bags all packed for the great upheaval
feathers for the good and lead is good for the evil
food for the dying stolen from the dead
laid out together across their dying bed
eyes shut tight so still now
they all sleep like they've been fed
I got a letter today
I got a letter to say
I got a letter today
come on home if you can find it
cause the farm is blown away
shake the dust off of your shoes
static threw the breaker
dust blew the fuse
every last goddamned thing
will be the first thing you lose
I got a letter today
I got a letter to say
I got a letter today
come on home if you can find it
cause the farm is blown away
come on home if you can find it
cause the farm is blown away

the sky was black like caviar
every little egg was a twinkling star
there we made a wish on shooting a falling czar
diamond drawers with a weight to stagger
fools the bullet and blunts the dagger
first we fall then we crawl back with a swagger
I got a letter today
I got a letter to say
I got a letter today
come on home if you can find it
cause the farm is blown away
bolshevik and bollweevil
bags all packed for the great upheaval
feathers for the good and lead is good for the evil
food for the dying stolen from the dead
laid out together across their dying bed
eyes shut tight so still now
they all sleep like they've been fed
I got a letter today
I got a letter to say
I got a letter today
come on home if you can find it
cause the farm is blown away
shake the dust off of your shoes
static threw the breaker
dust blew the fuse
every last goddamned thing
will be the first thing you lose
I got a letter today
I got a letter to say
I got a letter today
come on home if you can find it
cause the farm is blown away
come on home if you can find it
cause the farm is blown away
