Strange Bloom

from Ice Eaters by Matt Oleksa

/

lyrics

Ever seen a slice of black currant pie in the avocado eye on a black cat passing by?

Meet me at that place
Half-past the rat race
A little late is on time
Bring a bottle of Italian booze

Are you unquenched? Do you have the blues so bad they thirst in the dark?

The streets emptyin’ in
Walls suckin’ in
Wives, kids, dogs, husbands
And lockin’ 'em in

Through opened moon
Comes the groom
Pale-faced and soon
Such a strange bloom

Ever seen the air so thick, you could balance a peanut shell on it?
Think about it

Put down your crucifix
Won’t do you no good
Your ma and her favorite son wouldn’t take yah back
Though they could

Through opened moon
Comes the groom
Pale-faced and soon
Such a strange bloom

Bet you a couple garlic cloves and a rabbit’s foot you can’t find my nose
