John 3.16 Lyrics by Ruby Throat

The Ventriloquist

0

Ears, eyes, nose and mouth
A wolf blew down my house
Bury the evidence
Is easier said than done

If I could tell you what I know
It would fall away
There is nothing I can say
It's a far reach
Does it ever come to rest?
Settle down now, baby
Settle down now, baby

I wish I had done things a different way
I wish I had loved you in a way
That you would understand

Behind the tree line
Behind the tree line
Behind the tree line I see
Behind the tree line
(...)
Behind the tree line

John 3.16
John 3.16
John 3.16
John 3.16

'Cause that's the reason

You got a love
It's good enough
He down and play a lot
It got him out
You pray to love
She'll shout a lot
It got a wilder
He'll shout a lot
We'll walk on water
Shine a while
(...)
Light of moon
(...)

Settle down now, baby
Settle down now, baby

If I could tell you what I know
It would fall away
There is nothing I can say
I wish you well anyway

(…)

Walk on water, baby
Walk on water lights
(...)

Whispering in the blind spot
Baby’s got a knife
The third arm's going to use it
Going to turn out baby's lights

Baby start to running
The third arm grind her teeth
She'll sharpen up her shallow blade
Cry baby's last bequeath

Oh, why?
Oh, why?

Baby grown a third arm
And she knows what she can't do
The third arm grown another plan
And set the blade on you

(...)
Garden on a name
I don't want to lie
(...)

Whispering in the blind spot
Baby’s got a knife
The third arm's going to use it
Going to turn out baby's lights

So baby start to running
The third arm grinds her teeth
She'll sharpen up this shallow blade
Baby's last bequeath

Now baby's in a warm love
The third arm bolts the door
In light of baby's other lovers
They stole them all and more

So baby grew a third arm
To do what she can't do
The third arm had another plan
She turned the blade on you

She turned the blade on
