lyrics

Ring my bell and I’ll awaken
From hearth and home to missing children
The flagstone flooded, rolled off the hyacinths
I’m off to see the Baltimore broommaker
I was tossed across the room
I hit the chair with a tune
Winnowed down to natural resources
I’m off to see the Baltimore broommaker

My skin is allergic to rings
We outlive the funeral home
Where our bodies go
Tied up and sewn
Down into hell we go

It was the fall of nineteen-ninety-eight
Stepping out with Ronnie’s shirt from Al and Dave
You took it from my torso with your teeth and walked away
And now I’m off to see the Baltimore broommaker
‘Neath impolite lamp light, snow fell on me and you
Left in a London landfill, two-thousand-two
Separated at birth, we tossed away our worth
I’m off to see the Baltimore broommaker

My skin is allergic to rings
We outlive the funeral home
Where our bodies go
Tied up and sewn
Down into hell we go

Alisa touched Shostakovich, your seat empty beside me
Elisa screamed her Hawkins with rattled brain and body
But I’m off to see the Baltimore broommaker

Teething Veils image

Teething Veils Washington, D.C.

"These songs—sepia-toned yet searching, eccentric yet melodically inclined—add up to something that feels like its own universe, sometimes wistful, sometimes the kind of menacing only achieved via a late-career Tom Waits death rattle." -Wash CP
