TV On The Radio Lyrics

"Blues From Down Here" lyrics


From the depths I called you ma
For your breath and breast so warm and fabled
Your hands reached inside
Grabbed my heart, enlarged, disabled

Hailed for your mercy
An ear that cares

How the blues sound from up there?

With my wet hair, I wipe the blood off of your feet
Carry me through these shark infested waters
Well you spared me from the slaughter for sure
But these sharks are equally in need of a martyr

Oh kindness shared
Undeserved purest gift
This life you're spared

How the blues sound from up there?

Teeth gnashing, masticating this dumb tongue
Quiet now, quiet now, hear that supplication
Echo into the void
Been received by no one

Oh my sweet dear
Cold alone poisoning ourselves
Engulfed in our own tears

Signed, blues from down here
Signed, blues from down here
Signed, blues from down here

Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your..
Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your..
Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your..
Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your..
Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your..

Time for favorite story
Of how to achieve golden glory
Wash yourself all squeaky clean
All in white, all hallow's eve

Lessen your desire
Hold your breath so patiently
Never inquire how to be free
Just stay on your knees

You might doubt it
Think there's nothing left for you to do
But stomp my feet and shout about it

From the depths I called you

Now I'm waiting for an answer patiently
Stuck here at the bottom of this well
It's not the last you've heard from me
