Jacobs Ladder - The Anomalies

There’ll be no locked doors in this house

Curtains drawn at five thirty

There’ll be no no bad blood

Between the members of this troop

Cause we are family

I commandeer a boat, across, your waters

Swimming like a salmon up an icy stream

I got no no bad blood, running through my veins

It’s just my family

I commandeer a boat, across, your waters

Swimming like a salmon up an icy stream

I got no no bad blood, running through my veins

It’s just my family

They’re tying rocks to my sister’s ankles

To see if she would sink

They want a good good marriage to a bad bad man

And they fucked it right up with the best laid plans

It’s just my family

I commandeer a boat, across, your waters

Swimming like a salmon up an icy stream

I got no no bad blood, running through my veins

It’s just my family

Well Jacob Jones was born with hate in his bones

He sailed alone so he’d atone for all the pain in his soul

He was a lost cause sailing off course on lost shores

The watchman

a memorial to all the

Assures us all he’s sorry

Swore to God that he’d absolve them all

to the glory

I commandeer a boat, across, your waters

Swimming like a salmon up an icy stream

I got no no bad blood, running through my veins

It’s just my family

They strapped a gun to my brother’s back again

Packed him up to the merchant navy

He we buy buy sell sell, anything you can get your hands on

Maybe, just maybe, I’ll commandeer a…

Boat, across, your waters

Swimming like a salmon up an icy stream

I got no no bad blood, running through my veins

It’s just my family-y-y-y-y-y-y
