lyrics
Put Your Shoulders On
I’m waiting for your shoulders to hang high
and shrug for me.
Once again it’s all the same laughs
I know cross your lips
forgiving me--
I’ll be down the square
when you’re through
with flaming hell,
folding myself all for you.
All the formless hands abusing
prune your shrunken face
I know you love it--it brings you
down slow, so you can crawl
and feel out your space,
but lately, all that love’s been drying out
all your ghosts that you host
and let hang around
No guise, none of Ma’s letters, no sky
to hold you up. All the lies
and all the key bumps
don’t ask why, they just hang tough,
dropping in slowly and calling out names
of the best friends you have now,
but you’re all alone, keeping time--you
dream of mercy--
I’m waiting for your shoulders to hang high
and shrug for me.
Once again it’s all the same laughs
I know cross your lips
forgiving me--
I’ll be down the square
when you’re through
with flaming hell,
folding myself all for you.
