LYRICS

No, no there hasn’t been another man

woman, spirit or thought that hurt me so bad

so lost was I, in the desert so long

that spiders and snakes crawled out to sing me a song

CHORUS :

DREAMS DRAG AROUND MY HEAD

FOG IS CLOGGIN’ MY EYES UP, ALL RED

FRUITS I CAN’T EAT ROT IN A BOWL

VIBES I CAN’T BEAT RATTLE MY SOUL

A mere whisper at first

it became a howling chant

wouldn’t let me go, I insisted I can’t leave him I just can’t

as it rose and rose louder from the depths

reaching my heart, my soul, my mind

I had to face the deaths

of this love, of that life

no longer prisons would confine me

no longer could the warden bribe me

CHORUS :

DREAMS DRAG AROUND MY HEAD

FOG IS CLOGGIN’ MY EYES UP, ALL RED

FRUITS I CAN’T EAT ROT IN A BOWL

VIBES I CAN’T BEAT RATTLE MY SOUL

Leftover soup is drippin’ down the drain

why not I skip a dish and wash my brain….
