Will Oldham More Brother Rides lyrics

Mention of the stars reduce us back
They, about them, have time's things hanging
We are around near the railroad track
Checking out the thundering

Names you call could have been ours
To call and live among them
Friends come by and spend some hours
And then back down to working

At night, things come and half a life
Not so silly walking
All different clothes in the half light
And a halting way of talking

There really was one way to be

Yet this is not it, we think
To be such younger folk as we
Not leveled as we drink

We're busted up, so ragged down
And kissing and subsisting
Our eyes glint wild and roll around
And the dog, he whines insisting

He asks that we allow the sex
To make us unrecognizable
That we allow slow violence
To prove us rebaptizable
