Spirit Ditch Lyrics

Artist: Sparklehorse (Buy Sparklehorse CDs)
Album: Vivadixiesubmarinetr...

I want my records back
and that motorcycle gas tank
that I, spraypainted black
the owls have been talking to me
but I'm sworn to secrecy

I woke up in
a burnt out basement
sleeping with
metal hands
in a spirit ditch

the moon it will rise with such
horse laughter
it's dragging pianos to the ocean
if I had a home
you'd know it'd be
in a slide trombone

I woke up in
a burnt out basement
sleeping with
metal hands
in a spirit ditch

(mum on answerphone interlude)

I woke up in
a burnt out basement
sleeping with
metal hands
in a spirit ditch

My favourite sparklehorse track and one of the most unbearably beautiful songs I know.
Rest in peace Mark
