// LYRICS
Take me now, take me now
With no money in my pockets to weigh me down
Drag me through the thistle, drag me through the briar
The bed smells like a bonfire
And there’s bats in the breezeway, smoke in the mirror
Things aren’t going my way, things are getting clearer
From a ghost town to a goes all night town
With a desert dream inbetween

When you are floating faraway, you wish you could have stayed
Jackie Oh No
Blue sunrise on a coat of ice
A flash of teeth, make me weak
Jackie Oh No

A slow rolling bloom in a boom and bust country
That’s what our love is
You were writhing in the weeds I was twisting with the wreckage
Now I’m in the deep sea, if you have the time could you drop me a line?
Drag me into the shallow sand give me my new name

I dreamt I was the Badlands
When I awoke I was coughing coal
And you were the wild orchid in the cold wind in the valley below

When you’re floating faraway

You wish you could have stayed
Jackie Oh No
Blue sunrise on a coat of ice
A flash of teeth, make me weak
Jackie Oh No
A flash of heat
Infernal
