I see you harvesting I see you wrapped in my way But you won't get away with it honey No, you'll never come close to me You will forgive me if I'm lean Or comatose on codeine We were baptized, grey stones and azure river To wake me from this twilight sleep As we draw near the waiting room With the nod of two white owls One to sedate her, one shot to stop her heart Dear Ethel, all the lights in the city went out Birth of violence Sister of the road I see your defenses I take ten paces I've come to know what I need I visualize while I bleed Towns in a mudslide An early morning shiver Won't let them take you from me Birth of violence Sister of the road I see your defenses I take ten paces Baby you are Baby you are Baby you are Baby you are Baby you are Baby you are The only one The only one The only one The only one
