Sweet, Sweet Magdalene

from Grandfather by Chasing Nora

lyrics

The smallest part of me
Is an echoing cavern
Ready to be filled by the
Light of your lantern

Kerosene careens
From your grip onto the floor
And you're looking to the place
You think I might have torn

My bag it holds a camera
Sniffing salts and rakes
A brownish hand recorder
Just to put the sounds to tape

To play back for you later
On inauguration day
And you will teach them slowly how
To pronounce your name

Sweet sweet Magdalene
Build your time machine
I'm sturdy like the Soo Line
But I'm one dead Nazarene
Come invade my prison
Come up to my cell
Oh what the hell
Stay a spell tonight babe
And I'll make love to you
The whole night through

I warned you would find bleeding
A crease in my long back
This is long before you knew me
I was a slave to hearts attack

You need it like a train track
Needs its pins and spikes
And the town below the dam falls
Needs it's gutter and its dikes
