Milk & Honey - New Desert Blues

Moonlight on the water

I never met your daughter

No smoke without a fire

I’m a coward, I’m a liar

The canyon sinking deeper

The rivers running weaker

The wind is blowing stronger

The dark is growing longer

I am the offering

I work you to the palm

We wait like scavengers

I left your innocence at home

You dig your fingernails

Deep beneath my skin

I am the broken of you

Of your cold bitter wind

Sunlight on the rock face

Tell me how does it taste?

A bitter pill to swallow

Like a shadow, I will follow

I am the offering

I work you to the palm

We wait like scavengers

I left your innocence at home

You dig your fingernails

Deep beneath my skin

I am the broken of you

Of your cold bitter wind

You grit your worn teeth

Inside your dirty mouth

You speak the only words

The words you cannot live without

I watch the evil grow

Inside my loco head

I know what you don’t know

I heard the words you never said

They came here for your money

Take my head in the golden water

I watch you milk and honey

Cos they know it tastes so good

They came here for your money

Take my head in the golden water

I watch you milk and honey

Cos they know it tastes so good

They came here for your money

Take my head in the golden water

I watch you milk and honey

Cos they know it tastes so good

They came here for your money

Take my head in the golden water

I watch you milk and honey

Cos they know it tastes so good

They came here for your money

Take my head in the golden water

I watch you milk and honey

Cos they know it tastes so good

They know it tastes so good

Know it tastes so good

Know it tastes so good

Know it tastes so good
