about

Recorded by Matthew Cullen, 2007. Feat. Nina Violet.

lyrics

Your strong young back is bent like a bow
your jaw is slack and your eyes don't glow
and your brilliant hands, that could built a world
are stuck in your pockets
dip, dip, ziplock doctor.

How could my mother watch my father
slipping under strong brown water
over and over all her life
eyes growing dim in the evening, in the afternoon.
I don't want to go down like that with you.

In my heart there's a big brown hound
and I chained him to a pole and I hope it holds.
He wants to track you wherever you are
to the bottom of a pit or the backseat of a car
And he strains at the chains and his veins bulge blue
hope it holds, hope it holds
because I don't want to go downtown with you.
