lyrics

What I got for hay, all the summer's yield, put it in a knapsack
Strapped to my burlap back in the morning in the cornfield
Spittin' kernels in the dust
When I'm through with the husk gonna leave it behind
Squint my black button eyes and set them on the horizon


Shimmy-shake the mud cakes
Loose from my bones my bones my bones
Gonna find a home for my soul


Moonlight dice roll the alley cats out
From their fishbone homes and their gutter ball spouts
Plenty of people, plenty of glass
We pocket the stones and the hours pass
Saving up for the battle royal


Shimmy-shake the mud cakes
Loose from my bones my bones my bones
Gonna find a home for my soul
