Choker Lyrics by Slug

Early Volume

0

Hands around that slender goose
Her hands I'd take a liken to
My ugly mug shot starin' from a locket
On a velvet noose

As I watched that wooden ceiling
The pulley nailed up on the rafters
And I heard that varnish-peeling
Alkeelhaulic laughter and I said
"Pull it tight and hitch the knot
We'll draw upon what's gone before
Hoist me up so I can soar."

Hey I'm down here and it's waist deep
I’m looking up that tunnel well
The only light that's starin' down
Is sucked in by your shadow
This is a sunken hole, if you throw me a line
I'll tie it twice around, and it hangs
From your neck down to mine

Pull it tight and hitch the knot
We'll draw upon what's gone before
Hoist me up so I can soar

Pull the ribbon off your throat;
You're standing naked on the stones
Heaven tears as it's unraveled
To reveal its bitter truth:
The clouds hang in rags and tatters
No angelic light shows through
All that shown was all that mattered
A conscious absence -- nothing there
Shaming me for ever wanting
Spring is over, winter's here
