Tall Heights Controlled Burn lyrics

Burn
Left me out
a hound ungroomed
with one nigh moon
I was consumed
I howled to it.
Oh I was loud
in drinking rooms
and dim saloons,
when I found you,
I found you wounded.
But you wore your heart like a lady
and I lit your smokes like a man.

Burn
Gathered round
when eyes adjusted,
in fire we trusted,
tendin' to a bed of kindle,
I stoked it on and on.
When dry wind roused,
our hearts unready,
it painted red, with orange hands
and a brush more hot than what we want

all around and we just danced
so drunk upon the lawn.
You danced the steps of a lady
and I tried to lead like a man
The bells only ring in emergency.
There's hazard in heat to discern
in a controlled

Burn
When we were found,
our molars made
the sorry case.
“Where goes our boy?
Where goes our girl?”
our fathers cried, I never heard.
And the bells only ring in emergency
There's hazard in heat to discern
It warms and it dances,
it speaks out of turn and it runs.
Controlled burn
