So High So Low So Wide So Long Lyrics - Picture Of The Three Of Us At The Gate To The - These United States

So long sad 

But at least it's sure said the old man 

Well i believe it's the sweetest two words 

I have ever heard 

And i've been around 

Since God made dirt 

And said i could dig it or man i could buy it 

But there's no way possible that i can deny it 

Indisputable science 

I ran alone from the hungry lions 

And now i'm so high i can't get over it 

With my heart so low i can't get under it 

And the sky so wide i'll never get around it 

And so i'm yelling into nothing just to hear 

The echo of the sound of it 

I need to get some new ground into my feet 

I spent all the precious metals that i dug from 

The streets 

Oh little song all thats left of me 

My gold is gone but i've got the receipts 

And i'm gonna read them from the mountaintop 

Talk tales of busted bandits 

Cobweb corner shops 

And each one patrols (?) a pot of gold 

Tooth broke 

Like sisyphus at the hillside tollboth 

I feel for jonah 

I too am a lonely butcher 

Trying to carve a lil piece out of this whale's great big future and still 

I'm just as high but i can't get over it 

With my heart so low i can't get under it 

And the sky so wide i'll never get around it 

And so yelling into the nothing just to hear the echo of the sound of the rock 

So heavy 

You can barely even move it 

And this life's so thick that 

You can hardly swim on through it 

And flames so fast 

You gotta go on sitting in it 

Just as long as you know 

You must get on with it 

I feel for jonah 

I too am a lonely butcher.
