Califone Stepdaughter lyrics

Left out in the rain too long
There was not no glory to re-live
All 3 fingers, all your limbs
Pliable now as steam and soft light

Traded off when you were down, took it on, took it on
The story bitches and the scene don't care
Unraveling now like steam and soft light
The cutter loses his nerve and turns away
The stepdaughter dissolves into the dark woods soundless

Mama take the pillow from under my head

Stepdaughter made my dying bed
Left out in the rain too long
To marinate in steam and soft light

The stepdaughter dissolves into the dark woods soundless
The cutter delivers an elk heart for false proof
Bury me shallow and scratch out my name
I'd make every mistake all over again
