Drive Me Down to Shonkin
I use you when I need you
And leave you when I'm done
I've never told you anything
But truth beneath this sun
I'm a prairie where love wanders
Dying of terrible thirst
When the vultures find your carcass
Babe I'll be the first
I wish I was the devil
I wish I was the Lord
The hunger of this twisted heart
Best be left ignored
You drive me down to Shonkin
Standing by the creek
You rub a bluebell's petals
On the stubble of my cheek
Your lips bleed when I kiss you
Prairie dogs go
Underground
Montana skies consume us
I resist that whispered sound
The stars obliterated
You leave me the night
I find myself by myself
Stripped of love and all that's right
I wish I was a demon
With no knowledge of what's good
But every kiss you give me
Is like nails through new wood
I love you and I hate you
I'll kill you with compassion
I spout desire's lust
As philosophy and fashion
I'm not worth a single glance
Why do you still pursue me?
I never knew love was so strong
Oh God you've overcome me
