Vietnam Malaria Nostalgia Lyrics

you were the first in a long line
all of our sentimental hearts traced back in time
bow to the light that was over my head in the sick bed
and the ghost was right there over my head, resurrected
ooh with a god that knows like a needle and thread where the fingers go
ooh having sex all night there over my head in the black lights

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I can't really seem to erase that memory
I can't really seem to escape that part of me
take these please
sweep through the whole thing like a sparrow
cause your blood might drip from the poisonous tip of an arrow
ooh while the doctors slap at the venomous gnats that attack me
ooh and i think of what goes over my eyes
that I can't see anything

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

this is the end of the Kingman line
cut off at the heart where the blood stopped time
take great care to color your hair for the vampires
ooh with amazing grace, paint your face for the empire
ooh when it calls you out everyone shout for the cub scouts
ooh and i cant remember what i just said on my deathbed
