Caroline Rose - America Religious Lyrics

Sun beam patches
Like lightning in my vision
Stumbling trembling as a tremor
In the depths beneath the trenches

I came upon a spotted horse the lonely dun
Untethered mare grazing yellow grass
A field of straight-back silken hair

It was then I realized with a lasso
‘round the sky I'd follow morning so
The sun it would be always on the rise

Come five days sleepless
A thousand miles behind me
I heard a voice in wind-speak and it
Drew my soul in silhouette!

“Atlas move along I've got two arms
This world won't know which ear to stand on! ”

Solo joyriding
Twelve-lane highway
Off-the-cuff Pagan lust

It's a wonder I've got two legs to stand
On I drink myself blind uncurtailed by moderation

“Stand on me”? I'll stand on you!

For lack of something better to do

America religious
I eat slices of white privilege
Processed by agri-business

(ain't this what you'd always dreamed it'd be?)

The two-spot, dream-spot all scattered
‘bout the table as we plunged in ankle
Deep in table conversation

Meanwhile out in the distance
Through the mist there rang a scream

As we all ducked our heads
We sheered our eyes

“Lord, thank you for this feast”

I think I'd like to take
This time to toast myself

“Here's to the wine! ”

Keep your two cents
Spare me your change
Honey around here we work for our pay

It's a wonder I've got two legs to stand on
I drink myself blind uncurtailed by moderation

“Stand on me”

I'll stand on you
Footloose disillusioned and blue
