Lyrics Kristin Hersh

Kristin Hersh

Krait

in a suburban desert a fast food high we swipe at peeling paint swat away flies

the crawling milk-fed squawking cream-filled hominids ids

immune to broken to wasted time to bolts of lightning

bungee together your body's guards the bloodiest bond blacking out the dark

the darkest flame the darkest waltz a sun burnt snarl thrashing and parched

a singular desire to drive into the dirt no lust, no gluttony we're free as algae

in a suburban desert a fast food high we swipe at peeling paint swat away flies

the crawling milk-fed squawking cream-filled hominids ids

immune to broken to naked shame bolts of lightning

to broken flame to broken waltz to sun burnt snarls thrashing and parched

a singular desire to drive into the dirt no lust, no gluttony we're free as algae

those with an all-consuming passion in lockstep
