Ash Wednesday Lyrics - Ash Wednesday - Elvis Perkins

The tents go up 

As I go down 

Down to the flats and into the sound 

The closer I get to the city 

The further I am from memory 

In the green grass looking up 

For the words of the angry sun 

'no one' when he says 'no one' 

Yeah he means 'no one' 

No one 

No one will survive 

Ash Wednesday alive 

No soldier no lover 

No father no mother 

Not a lonely child 

In the up and in the bedroom 

A black and white of the bride and the groon 

Will bring me to my knees 

With the colorized bad dream 

That takes its place on 

Ash Wednesday 

White noise and love 

Will be my only drug 

On this day nine 

Suns away 

From that sad sad Saturday 

When fire my friend 

Fire my villain 

You take away yesterday 

To give to me today 

When nothing's free no now it's 

Ash Wednesday 

So each day is ash Wednesday 

All this life is ash Wednesday 

All the doors are shut 

And the windows barely opened up 

The fires all around 

It's the ending of the drought 

And we are ready now 

For tear gas clouds 

On my mind 

Come on fill the house 

Finally and weep 

For it's king and queen sleep 

Both now 

In the arms of 

Ash Wednesday 

Ash Wednesday
