Hell and Haydevils Lyrics by The Drones

Here Come The Lies

2002

[Instrumental Intro]
It was a night like tonight
A night like forever
I'd spent the day in a field
Full of hell and haydevils
When we returned to the farmhouse
On the windows all bright
There crept a frost of such fineness
I thought the sun had left cracks in my eyes
Then from the lake
Came a wind like a silence
I'd say what happened, happened there
Out there on that island
[Instrumental Break]
If the earth and the sky
Became more than a match
And if the fires we're feeding
Need no longer ask
And if the forests that shield us
Splinter to matches
And the outside creep under
Like a child snatcher's hand
Lest our boats lose their buoyancy
To the lake bottom blackest
And that lake rise up steaming
And leave a blanket of ash
Lest we're beaten by breezes
And start bleeding molasses
Yeah, prepare to be steamrolled
By history's passage
And judged on your past
And to have your hide tanned
We went looking for trouble
And it's trouble we've found
[Instrumental Break]
Well, if you're looking for trouble
It's trouble you've found
Here's the crux of our problem
The way that things stand
Granddaddy was a farmer
He worked clearing the land
Though he never once held
An axe in his hands
But with a pick-axe he'd hack
At the rock and at sky
Burying black boys by moonlight
On an island
On an island
[Instrumental Outro]
