Constellation Blues Lyrics - Glad All Over (vinyl Lp + Cd) - The Wallflowers

You can tell a few things about the soul of a town 

From the blood of the men gone in the ground 

Bankrupt and buried by war that is carried out 

By messengers now 

Was born here and married too young staring 

The nose of the barrel down 

Went milk to whiskey to the courthouse sitting 

With her stoned in her wedding gown 

My birthday's in two months and I'll be twenty one 

I am the second oldest to an only son 

Third generation to carry a gun 

I've got brown eyes like my mother does 

First I saw blood was in a soldier's hair 

Drying to his forehead in the dessert air 

I knew his name once but his face I don't dare 

Recall in the moments I go back there

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Off the record do you see my tears 

On my face and in my ears 

As the silos reappear 

And all of our journeys have led us right back here 

There's something in the water we've been passing around 

We've eaten the berries there is no doubt 

Like our father before us in his paper crown 

Kings of nowhere that was ever found 

The angels that used to be guarding our beds 

Have all wandered off and left us instead 

Too strung out and much too sick to defend 

Laying in the bathwater all lit up again 

It's not a rumor, it's more than true 

There's nothing I wouldn't do 

Be somewhere with only you 

Share a little of these constellation blues

When it comes to my death let it be slow 

May I be hunted in the hills I know 

Let God be certain I was ready to go 

But keep that secret from my children though
