Lyrics Cass McCombs

Cass McCombs

Sacred Heart

Sacred Heart, surveyed from the summit,

a pantheon, distant as ever,

echoing up the mountainside,

escaped sound, like a kiss upon the forehead

Alas! Jimmy

And all the members of the covenant

Noble scholars,

without you I’d have drowned in gutterwater

Alas!

You, of course, have my infinite gratitude

You, My Most Sacred Heart

Yet I piss and moan for I have ____

Dearly Departed,

we are gathered here today in reverence

Dearly Departed,

we all will return to the soil

Alas!

Alas!

For all my Alas!-es

I cannot mend this massive slashing

Futile beacon!

Cinderella’s in the doghouse

The doghouse

The doghouse

No, love doesn’t always boomerang
