Buckets of Oil Lyrics by Freakwater

Thinking of You...

0

[Chorus]
Buckets of oil, buckets of wine
To grease up these gears and shut down my mind
Buckets of nails, truckloads of blood
To float this ship of fools up out of the mud
[Verse 1]
The sand we threw on the fire
Cooked up the rose-colored glasses that we've all admired
A spoonful of sugar cooked over the flame
And mixed with the blood of the wounded and the lame
[Chorus]
Buckets of oil, buckets of wine
To grease up these gears and shut down my mind
Buckets of nails, truckloads of blood
To float this ship of fools up out of thе mud
[Verse 2]
The amber grain
And all the bеautiful spaceships, radio waves
Above the purple mountains that might just be
So many little hearts shining on the sad hill of graves
[Verse 3]
The yellow rose will rise
Before the Father and 'fore the Son
And the yellow rose will shine down for all the world to see
When the beautiful victory’s won
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
The crowd we had was good in my neighborhood
Down where I shed my grace, God never showed his face to me
Where the winners and the losers from sea to shining sea
Have been bought and sold and most often had for free
[Chorus]
Buckets of oil, buckets of wine
To grease up these gears and shut down my mind
Buckets of nails, truckloads of blood
To float this ship of fools up out of the mud
