Trolling for Blues (By Red Light)

from Honeymoon After a Rain by Matt Oleksa

/

lyrics

This is for Savannah Clarkson Blue
She works as a mail clerk
In a basement in Romulus, New York

He’ll tuck you in a bed of nails
He’ll take the wind out of your sails
And when you’re sinkin’ like a stone
He’ll go and toss you a wishbone (that’s cold)
But there’s a catch underneath of this
A worm dancin’ with a catfish
A net wrapped around a pearl
You take the wind, you reap the whirlwind

The road drawing a blank
The Carnival abandoned on the bank
A red herring and a Georgia peach
Just sank below the out of reach
A girl in blue stockings running through the rye
She left a note but the note didn’t say why
Go on sweet light crumble ‘cross the break
Some things you give, some things you take

Row, row, row, row, row, row
Row upon the water to the land of honey dreams
Row to Byzantium, row to the land of honey dreams
Row you pilgrim to the land of honey dreams
Row, row, row you pilgrim to the land of honey dreams
Row, row, row, row, row, row
