Kristin Hersh - Sinkhole Lyrics
Well its sundown in the sinkhole,Its sunrise up on the hill.The thieves are sleeping in hades palm,And theyre keeping very still.Its summer in winterhaven,And the earth, shes caving in.Theres no water on the land,And its all because of sin.Mae rose owens lost her bedroomWhen the porches all fell in.Guy laguarde kissed his yard goodbyeAnd its all because of sin.No one must be toldAbout this thieving in the night,Satan stole the landscape,It was gone with the morning light.Its sundown in the sinkhole,Its sunrise up on the hill.The thieves are sleeping in hades palm,And theyre keeping very still.Its summer in winterhaven,And the earth, shes caving in.Theres no water on the land,And its all because of sin.Seven recreational vehicles buried underground.Seven cranes went after them,Six could not be found.A porsche and half a swimming poolAre lost I am afeared.The seventh crane approached the hole,Then it disappeared.Its sundown in the sinkhole,Its sunrise up on the hill.The thieves are sleeping in hades palm,And theyre keeping very still.Its summer in winterhaven,And the earth, shes caving in.Theres no water on the land,And its all because of sin.St. augustine in his slumber,Feels the depths of his own soul.St. bernadette in her vision,Feels her body beyond control.The flowers of narcissus,Are nailed to the underworld door,And hades has the medicine,And he keeps down on the floor.Its sundown in the sinkhole,Its sunrise up on the hill.The thieves are sleeping in hades palm,And theyre keeping very still.Its summer in winterhaven,And the earth, shes caving in.Theres no water on the land,And its all because of sin.
