about

Words and music originally written by Newsome c. 1997.

lyrics

Above your wetlands
beyond your foul hands
Over rocks and broken bones
In the shadow of the sun

Novacaine came
And washed my pain away
Like you'll never know
You'll never, ever know

Above your soup kitchen soul
Across your sodden ground
In the light of the lung
And raised beyond the pale

Codiene came
And washed my pain away
Like you'll never know
You'll never, ever know

I built a causeway above
All those naked and those dead
And the mothers and the fathers
Well the weak we carry on
Where the love that is housed
Beneath these borrowed clothes
Well its a fountainhead of madness
In a woe-begotten tale

Above the down below
Under a burning eye
A road away from the right

Morphine came
And washed my pain away
Like you'll never know
You'll never, ever know

I built a causeway above
All those naked and those dead
And the mothers and the fathers
Well the weak we carry on
Where the love that is housed
Beneath these borrowed clothes
Well its a fountainhead of madness
In a woe-begotten tale ...

A woe-begotten tale etc
