lyrics

it cries behind my house
it haunts the roads at night
it hides just out of sight
and cries the saddest cry
its business is unfinished
it’s the only thing that calls
sounds so fucking alone
it cuts me to the bone

demon, death or ghost
the loneliest of roads
it’s watching from a post
as we effortlessly float

the middle of nowhere
in a no man’s land
the darkest night
since records began
where it’s unlit
where my love is
black as
cassiterite

[chorus]

flying low
carried on a stretcher
somnambulant
in an old German car
in my hunting ground
with a heart-shaped face
DDT
will be the death of me

[chorus]
