Lyrics The Fiery Furnaces

The Fiery Furnaces

Pricked In The Heart

Listen, these are not drunken as you suppose.

It might not be 3 o'clock in the morning like it seems:

The little children will be prescient.

And your young men will see shows,

And your old men will dream dreams.

I found a typescript double-spaced,

Printed out on a daisy-wheel (so all femme).

In the former Treatise (dear friend Theophilus) it was

placed,

Written by Lisa which was present at the doings of

them.

I gathered all the tokens of her passion, people,

waiting for the promise of her father ("Whereof you

heard of me").

In the past

John baptized with water; now, with wine.

But don't weep, he'll make sure:

Pricked in the heart the Wednesday after last.

In a cash and carry next to Mt. Olivet (and all

around),

Megan, Mary, Lisa, and Kenisha gave it out, "Stick with

me."

Or you'll reap the reward of iniquity,

Cashed out and carried to possession of a plot of

ground.

Well, the vapor of smoke came up from the earth

beneath,

Outside the bodega called Beautiful. When it was whom

With Su and Kenisha, under a silver-leaf wreath,

Called not fit to sit: might as well have come halt out

your mother's womb.

I gathered all the tokens of her passion, people,

Waiting for the promise of her father ("Whereof you

heard of me").

In the past

John baptized with water; now, with wine.

But don't weep, he'll make sure:

Pricked in the heart the Wednesday after last.

A light shined in the lodge and the chains slipped off

her hands,

So to speak: she packed up her things and she sailed

off to Cyprus,

Sending greetings from Felix with a please to put Paul

on.

Misunderstands

Me, she, and her all went home (gave up the boast) and

left Lisa to type us.
