Hum

Lyrics for Hum

The police are gonna wound me And the minister will heal me But I think he’ll do it equally violently Should I ask him to? Only one will lay claim to me Only one will choicelessly be song Police say no! I cannot spare a thought S pare thought, spare thought Was I born a roach? A belly-crawling grub? Just as I suppose I hear a holy hum of: dust thy essence off! you are gladly so! you are biting none! softest teeth i know! its in the artist soul! it fits there i should know! in all your decent days! it was in every one! A love that isn’t waiting On my shook soul At the nave and at the navel Him I know Beenalittleleadenlately He cant bite down on my soul At least he eats the bread crumbs That I throw! Lay loose - it’s all id ever do Forever! God loves the aching ones H e loves the aching ones Police said they’d cut things off Am I an aching one? Its a limb that I’d like to offer Its a limb that I’d like to lose I dont care about fools and father Its a limb that I’d like to lose
