Specter by Lucky's Blues published on 2019-07-10T22:48:51Z I have never been this afraid before The symptoms passed From a shadow cast When you thought you were safe I cried at your back while you lie Looking out the door An outline thrashing your sleep On your skin from your kin Was it my father Or the empty skull of a man I knew? Was it here or down on a continent I couldn’t tell left from right? VERSE But in your stone walled darkened room All lit up - purple and blue I’ve been looking long for you Now your long hair left on a chemical score But for water when your skin is cracking Look just over the line! They’ll blind you if you pay them what they ask Head-in-sand when the specter crash the shore! CHORUS Rubber on my shoe, can’t shock me like you want to Blood’ll turn into a fancy pudding in the fire Don’t you know electricity is just heat on heat on heat Funny some of us see more light with our eyes closed A darkened room BRIDGE Won’t you take a bath when you need to darlin’ Luxuriate in the moment if you drown I’ll swim up to you from the upside-down Where I’ll find you any time I commit a crime without you Speak my name into the food that I cannot devour From the nape of your neck where I saw once How you looked out How you looked out How you looked out at that specter!!! VERSE In your ears a glassy land Diatomaceous earth and sand Have your eyes ever been this red? Ever stooped so low? Pick up pick up as we go The laughter roars A teardrop rolls Down your face as it hits - you know the shape of that old ghost CHORUS/OUTRO Rubber on my shoe don’t you come knocking here for something crude Rubber on my shoe nearly wore out from casting this spell for you Rubber on my shoe that empty skull now light-filled, vicious from the night-time What you oughta do? I don’t think I’ll be seeing you but it was at the right ti- i-ah ah I I ah I I ah -ime i-ah ah I I ah I I ah -ime
