Kill Devil Hills Lyrics by The Pica Beats

Durian Shakes and other lost songs

2015

[Verse 1]
And so the clouds never part over Kill Devil Hills
You got that town in the palm of your hand
Cause you decide who will die when the wells have gone dry
And the scope of the billowing sand
But under one fallen tree over dead power lines
There's a coiled snake ready to strike
And out as quick as the colorjet turns
The small stay out of your sight
[Pre-Chorus]
But I never thought that you would tell anyone
My human name
Well it was just one night and I had drunk one ounce
Of mercury
And on a better night I could have taken control
Of all my fear
But of course I know that even's out
And nothing's clear
[Chorus]
So sometimes
There's going to have to be a line
In the sand drawn down
Across your chest and your hips, to mine
And oh, good luck
And good luck is grasping at straws
In the fray-end rope tied
To the wing of a wren, again
[Verse 2]
And now the sun never sets over Kill Devil Hills
You took all you wanted and left
From the red-mortar bricks to the houses on sticks
There is nothing escaping your theft
But if there's left on the ground then the rest will be found
Just a century or so to the day
And there goes all the [?]
The rest of us floating away
[Pre-Chorus]
But I never thought that you would tell anyone
My human name
Well it was just one night and I had drunk one ounce
Of mercury
And on a better night I could have taken control
Of all my fear
But of course I know that even's out
And nothing's clear
[Chorus]
So sometimes
There's going to have to be a line
In the sand drawn down
Across your chest and your hips, to mine
And oh, good luck
And good luck is grasping at straws
In the fray-end rope tied
To the wing of a wren, again
And oh, sometimes
There's going to have to be a line
In the sand drawn down
Across your chest and your hips, to mine
And oh, good luck
And good luck is grasping at straws
In the fray-end rope tied
To the wing of a wren, again
