Universal Applicant Lyrics - Apocalypse - Bill Callahan

Without work's calving increments 

Or love's coltish punch 

What would I be? 

An animaless isthmus 

Beyond the sea 

Oh bees only swarm when they're looking for a home 

So I followed them 

I found the bees nest in the buffalo's chest 

I drank their honey, that milk 

I've seen this taste cased in almost every face 

That's working to see it in all 

And this kidnaps me 

Tied up in a boat and kicked off to sea 

In tight baby binding technique 

My arm chews through the swaddling slings 

There's a flare gun in my hand 

I point it straight and point it high 

And to the universe it applies 

It lit things up in lavender 

Where I'd been was might go 

I saw the calf 

I saw the bees 

I saw the buffalo and the colt 

Well I'm sure they all laughed at me 

At me solo in my boat 

The flare burned and fell 

The boat burned as well 

And the punk 

And the lunk 

And the drunk 

And the skunk 

And the hunk 

And the monk in me 

All sunk 

Sunk, sunk, sunk, sunk, sunk
