lyrics

There are holes in the ceiling
to let the rain in
they wash out the feeling
of all the people who come and go
all through the night

the papers on the stove
the words turn to smoke
and all the fruits laid out on the table
and everything is ready
to be painted

but holy water
makes holy ale

i sat down next to a long dead cat and scratched
his cold chin
waiting for us to breath again
those long cool breaths we drew in the fog
but then came the ants

but holy water
makes holy ale
and i drink
to a forgotten tradition
to serve the world and drains
laugh not with me or with them
for we came alone and we'll leave alone
