Bolshevik and Bollweevil

the sky was black like caviar

every little egg was a twinkling star

there we made a wish on shooting a falling czar

diamond drawers with a weight to stagger

fools the bullet and blunts the dagger

first we fall then we crawl back with a swagger

I got a letter today

I got a letter to say

I got a letter today

come on home if you can find it

cause the farm is blown away

bolshevik and bollweevil

bags all packed for the great upheaval

feathers for the good and lead is good for the evil

food for the dying stolen from the dead

laid out together across their dying bed

eyes shut tight so still now

they all sleep like they've been fed

I got a letter today

I got a letter to say

I got a letter today

come on home if you can find it

cause the farm is blown away

shake the dust off of your shoes

static threw the breaker

dust blew the fuse

every last goddamned thing

will be the first thing you lose

I got a letter today

I got a letter to say

I got a letter today

come on home if you can find it

cause the farm is blown away

come on home if you can find it

cause the farm is blown away
