To The Dogs Or Whoever - Josh Ritter.mp3

[00:12.51]Deep in the belly of a whale I found her
[00:14.85]Down with the deep blue jail around her
[00:17.19]Running her hands through the ribs of the dark
[00:19.59]Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc
[00:21.81]I love the way she looks in her underwear
[00:24.12]I lose my page then the book then the plot then I swear
[00:26.34]She makes the most of her time by loving me plenty
[00:28.86]She knows there'll come a day when we won't be getting any
[00:40.89]The stain of the sepia the butcher Crimea
[00:43.02]Through the wreck of a brass band I though I could see her
[00:45.30]In a cakewalk she came through the dead and the lame
[00:47.73]Just another bird floating on a hurricane
[00:50.13]I was flat on my back with my feet in the thorns
[00:52.59]I was in between the apples and the chloroform
[00:54.90]She came to me often, I was sure I was dying
[00:57.30]It was always hard to tell if she was laughing or crying
[00:59.64]I thought I heard somebody calling
[01:04.14]In the dark I thought I heard somebody call
[01:09.27]Joan never cared about the in-betweens
[01:11.37]Combed her hair with a blade did the Maid of Orleans
[01:13.71]Said Christ walked on water we can wade through the war
[01:16.20]You don't need to tell me who the fire is for
[01:18.69]Oh bring me the love that can sweeten a sword
[01:20.97]A boat that can love the rocks or the shore
[01:23.37]The love of the iceberg reaching out for a wreck
[01:25.53]Can you love me like the crosses love the nape of the neck?
[01:37.05]Was it Casey Jones or Casey at the Bat
[01:40.23]Who died out of pride and got famous for that
[01:42.24]Killed by a swerve laid low by the curve
[01:44.55]Do you ever think they ever thought they got what they deserved
[01:46.86]Don't pity the bullet, but pity the man
[01:49.38]Who both find their place in the same sad plan
[01:51.81]Who both are like the barrel going over the falls
[01:53.94]Crying all the way down I never asked to be involved
[01:56.37]I thought I heard somebody calling
[02:03.48]In the dark I thought I heard somebody call
[02:15.15]General George began the day by taking pink little pills
[02:17.58]Sent his men to the top of some hell of a hill
[02:19.89]Through the whisper of trees came artillery breeze
[02:22.20]He said I love the way the wind comes a'tickling my knees
[02:24.90]Jane shot the apple right between the eyes
[02:27.12]I was thinking of her when you came outside
[02:29.46]Lemonade on your breath sun in your hair
[02:31.74]Did I mention how I love you in your underwear?
[02:34.38]Deep in the belly of a whale I found her
[02:36.66]Down with the deep blue jail around her
[02:39.12]Running her hands through the ribs of the dark
[02:41.43]Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc
[02:43.32]I thought I heard somebody calling
[02:50.73]In the dark I thought I heard somebody call
