lyrics

I was a dog I was a fool
Stare down that red-blinking eye
Pan over clearcut such a waste
Threshed hay left uncut and undried

Cover the sun I was the burn
Golden tasseled curtain pull
Welcome the industrial churn
Golden flesh now you must be cold

I was the work I was the wool
Calloused hands made charming lines
Ragged now looking out of place
Passed on unwanted in its time

Low like a snake I was a swirl
Around another coiled up
Lifted and taken from the soil
Fixed like a flower in a cup

I am a beast of its own control but I am yoked and I am pulled
