Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Joliet, she says, is the darkest part of a man
It's angry and slick
To those letter write through herself each time
That she thinks of him
[Verse 2]
Trips her way down south into mystery's mouth
And he follows her there
It's what she doesn't say that makes you want to stay
And try to comfort her
[Verse 3]
Talked to the cousins of people who knew you
I asked them the questions they expected to hear
Maybe a killing went down in your town
Maybe it's the prison or the birth of barbed wire
[Verse 4]
Joliet, she says, is the darkest part of a man
It's shaped like liberty's bell
It's a cracked and common law, and stretched out over its flaws
Just like an ink-less well
[Verse 5]
Hangin' judge in town records her comments down
She saves the crowd the truth
And deals with it herself, fills that hollow well
With nothing left to prove
[Verse 6]
I talked to the mountain, streams that pushed through there
Talked to the trees that had no fruit to bear
To the colorless people that sat there beneath her
Curled up and stared
[Verse 7]
Talked to the cousins of people who knew you
And asked them the questions they expected to hear
Like maybe a killing went down in your town
Maybe it's the prison or the birth of barbed wire
[Verse 8]
Joliet
