Cold Canary Gaslight Lyrics by Marty O’Reilly & the Old Soul Orchestra

Pray For Rain

2014

[Verse 1]
Well he reads like a Bible and acts just like a birdcage
Roars like an engine dyin' out on burnt rage
And you can blow out all the candles and fire up the lime light
She looks through 'im with the cold canary gaslight
[Chorus 1]
Oh sister woowowoah now
Don't you look at what I've done
Oh sister woowowoah now
Don't you look at what I've done
[Verse 2]
Well father's at the front door dustin' off the floormat
Brittle like his thick bark, tired like his old hat
He used to wonder how a young boy travels to a grown man
Said he walked on water he was dancin' on quicksand
[Chorus 2]
Oh father woowowoah now
Don't you look at what I done
Oh father woowowoah now
Don't you look at what I done
[Verse 3]
And you see me tearing up my floorboards
White sheets covered you
Fire in my eyes and water pourin' through the roof
And you heard I found a mineshaft diggin' past midnight
Called into the dark with a cold canary gaslight
And I tried to throw a rope down, didn't feel it pull back
Dead canary chirpin' now, cold blood and pitch black
[Outro]
I said Ohhhhhohhohhh
Ohhohhohhooh No
And I said Ohhhhhohhohhh
Ohhohhohhooh No
