Lyrics for Priest's Knees

And i was just another West coast maximalist Exploring the blues Ignoring the news From the front Where they're taking her Children away Taking them where they wanna go Tall ships made of snow Invading the sun Some people call me 'angel' On their death bed in a dream That's right The Czars father thought Things could've gone differently last night But they didn't And i couldn't bear To follow you there Where trauma exists in the sky 20th century masters Welcome these disasters And so do i. but no! Oh baby please don't go Up into it.
