To The Dogs Or Whoever Lyrics - Josh Ritter

Deep in the belly of a whale I found her 

Down with the deep blue jail around her 

Running her hands through the ribs of the dark 

Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc 

I love the way she looks in her underwear 

I lose my page then the plot then the book then I swear 

She makes the most of her time by loving me plenty 

She knows there'll come a day when we won't be getting any 

The stain of the sepia the butcher Crimea 

Through the wreck of a brass band I thought I could see her 

In a cakewalk she came through the dead and the lame 

Just a little bird floating on a hurricane

I was flat on my back with my feet in the thorns 

I was in between the apples and the chloroform 

She came to me often 

I was sure I was dying 

It was always hard to tell if she was laughing or crying 

I thought I heard somebody calling 

In the dark I thought I heard somebody call 

Joan never cared about the in-betweens 

Combed her hair with a blade did the Maid of Orleans 

Said Christ walked on water we can wade through the war 

You don't need to tell me who the fire is for 

Oh bring me the love that can sweeten a sword 

A boat that can love the rocks or the shore 

The love of the iceberg reaching out for a wreck 

Can you love me like the crosses love the nape of the neck? 

Photos 

Was it Casey Jones or Casey at the Bat 

Who died out of pride and got famous for that 

Killed by a swerve laid low by the curve 

Do you ever think they ever thought they got what they deserved 

Pity the bullet and pity the man 

Who both find their place in the same sad plan 

Who both are like the barrel going over the falls 

Crying all the way down I never asked to be involved 

I thought I heard somebody calling In the dark I thought I heard somebody call 

General George began the day by taking pink little pills 

Sent his men to the top of some hell of a hill 

Through the whisper of trees came artillery breeze 

He said I love the way the wind comes a'tickling my knees 

Jane shot the apple right between the eyes 

I was thinking of her when you came outside 

Lemonade on your breath sun in your hair 

Did I mention how I love you in your underwear? 

Deep in the belly of a whale I found her 

Down with the deep blue jail around her 

Running her hands through the ribs of the dark 

Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc 

I thought I heard somebody calling 

In the dark I thought I heard somebody call
