Blood Tree - Mary Timony

Deep on the banks of the blood tree

You strangle me so delicately, so delicately you strangle

Me

Beneath the boughs in the dim light

The moon comes out and we start to fight

The moon shines so bright

Will we ever get through this life?

I don’t care about you and whatever it is that you do,

Doing drugs, popping pills, shouting out the window at

Girls, You showed me pictures of your ex girlfriend

On the beach without her shirt on and it made me sick

And I didn’t tell you it did.

Hey baby with the wounded knee

You got caught up in crippled creek

Hangin' out with the Jesus freaks

Let me show you what it means to me

Jump (back/out) put it down

Shake your leg and turn around

Shake to that sound…

I don’t care about you and whatever you want me to do

Wipe your nose, take out the trash,

Give and give, and never ask

Go away, leave me alone

Go chew on yr dog’s bone

The only boy I ever loved turned into a golden dove

And moved to California.
