Shaggy Molasses

Lyrics

Painted hills and gravel roads
Pick and shovel and dead skin in tow
I find my self just digging holes
To bury things that have now grown cold

Beverly, won't you sing with me
This duet is lonely and I'm struggling to breathe
I don't mind; I can bide my time
With cigarettes and bourbon and a little LSD

There's no soul in factories
Goodhearted people replaced by machines
I'm growing wary of my junk and greed
Common confusion between want and need

Beverly, won't you sit with me
Listen to the water flowing in the stream
This duet ain't as lonely as it seems
Hear the trees are humming
even crows knows how to sing

The voices sing but I can't hear you anymore
I'm all out of patience and I'm tired of keeping score
And now Caroline stands in the door
Simple substitution ain't so easy anymore

Beverly, won't you sing with me
This duet is lonely and I'm struggling to breathe
I don't mind; I got all my time
To sing the harmony and softly pull the stings
