Description
Where *do* songs come from? This one is really weird lyrically, but I believe, deep down, that it makes sense. This song is on the Simple Words album by Misses & Mystery. Copyright 2002.

Lyrics
Left the crossroads, walked the rail
in desert lands, hell-hound trails
shedding layered layers of skin
like a serpent, or an onion.
Suspicion: there's nothing deep inside—
a snake-oil soul, almost alive,
walking days, walk in sin
another step from the garden.
Oh, black wing
Oh, black wings.
Away from my home and land,
became as drugged and cannot stand
hearing voices spouting verse—
a savior's name used as a curse.
Paraphrase: propaganda from the pews
(but who stood by those who'd been accused?)
Waking days, walk in sin,
another step from the garden.
Oh black wing.
Oh black wings.
One for sorrow, two for joy,
three for a girl and four for a boy.
Five for silver, six for gold.
Seven for a story.
Seven for a story.
It's been too long without rain,
throwing bones for laying blame.
Lay the stones, kill the cow.
Find out who's not praying now.
History: Jezebel on the throne
and Elijah stands there all alone:
waking days, walk in sin,
another step from the garden.
Oh black wing.
Oh black wings.
in desert lands, hell-hound trails
shedding layered layers of skin
like a serpent, or an onion.
Suspicion: there's nothing deep inside—
a snake-oil soul, almost alive,
walking days, walk in sin
another step from the garden.
Oh, black wing
Oh, black wings.
Away from my home and land,
became as drugged and cannot stand
hearing voices spouting verse—
a savior's name used as a curse.
Paraphrase: propaganda from the pews
(but who stood by those who'd been accused?)
Waking days, walk in sin,
another step from the garden.
Oh black wing.
Oh black wings.
One for sorrow, two for joy,
three for a girl and four for a boy.
Five for silver, six for gold.
Seven for a story.
Seven for a story.
It's been too long without rain,
throwing bones for laying blame.
Lay the stones, kill the cow.
Find out who's not praying now.
History: Jezebel on the throne
and Elijah stands there all alone:
waking days, walk in sin,
another step from the garden.
Oh black wing.
Oh black wings.

This is interesting! Good song!
I like the cool combination youve got between guitar and
those low strings.
Would have been interesting to be able to read the lyrics,
especially for a non native english speaker who have some
difficulties hearing all the words ...
