lyrics

We Walked Through Leicester Square

Worn with winter air
We walked through Leicester Square
By the fair we strolled
Beaming down the narrow road

Carousel alight
Warmed the bitterest night
Stumbled up dark stairs
Pressed against your chair

Brooding boiling bursting through
Lay you down to lick your wounds
Take your swing and see it through
But I'm in your ear

Drag out the dead
Tucked in their beds
Impaled by your pen
Blacken the days
Memories erased
Gild the gown you're in

On the train we dozed
Chalk marks on your soul
Bars on New Year’s Eve
Bottled on our mantlepiece

So you go and so it goes
The road to hell is paved with stone
Wherever you may lay your bones
I'm in your ear

Drag out the dead
Tucked in their beds
Impaled by your pen
Dragged through the days
Memories erased
Gild the gown you're in

Ashes on the bed
Silver turned to lead
Peered into your sea
Boxed away our grief

Holy grails and catacombs
Slap my wrist and send me home
Sweating shoulders, writhing roads
You are in my ear

Stolen souls and mirror balls
Cabs that orchestrate it all
Batted girls and littered halls
We are in your ear

Drag out the dead
Tucked in my bed
Impaled by your pen
Dragged through the days
Memories erased
Nightgown's nightly spin

about

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
