jesse and the revelator - delwyn كلمات الأغنية

i knew my mama by her breathing through the walls
and i knew my papa by his footsteps in the hall
summertime, the beetles’d come and worship on the screen
arm against the doorjamb, i was maybe 17
thinkin life between the welcome sign was gettin old
pa said “find a woman for to help you share the load”
so i had a wedding, bought a kit house and some land
love tried takin root but proved a sapling in the sand
so i tied her on a reel and dropped her into the k!llin fields

the first guy i had her f-ck i thought i recognized from school
she cried in the tub and asked how i could be so cruel
i thought about her tears becoming lost within the bath
i told her she was free to go, if she thought they’d take her back
business grew, and on and on, like this for a couple years
i got me a fleet of girls to fill the tub with tears
one was this here jenna, not a day over 11
i weened her off of schoolboys and onto antidepressants
till one day when a ghost appeared, to take her out of the k!llin fields

i called her in and bid her “won’t you draw the blinds a tad?
“i was eatin dinner and found a letter from your dad
“how the f-ck her find you? you been giving out your name?
“now, don’t act surprised when i say you ain’t fit to remain
“i’ll sneak you in a freighter–i’ll slip you down the corridor
“my cousin runs a ranch off a ramp in adwolf
“there you gonna find search parties ain’t round up for wh-r-s
“there’s plenty other bodies if they can’t recover yours”
then a sound near broke my ears, and nearly broke the k!llin fields

it was four knocks from the other side, past the motel door
as frightened and as hollow as the old particle board
i looked down at jenna but my eyes would not be met
knocks again, growing louder now and sounding more intent
“pray that ain’t your father or you gonna be an orphan soon”
before i even said the word he was inside the room
he didn’t even mind me, he just looked at her and ached
i thought to grab my .410 from beside my dinner plate
but i’d slowly turning gears on that day on the k!llin fields

she already held the chrome inside her little hands
greasy hair behind her ears and a skinny-legged stance
he said “jenna, don’t make some mistake you can’t undo”
i said “girl, you know that you ain’t got it inside you”
he said it didn’t matter, all the pain that happened here
he said their home still looked the same as when she disappeared
but love is such an awful thing, it oughta be a sin
i don’t think he realized the gun was aimed at him
