Lock Your Devils Up Lyrics
lock your devils up,
the sky is brewing
thick and static,
hairs on end.
rocking chairs
fall off their porches,
clutch their sides
and gasp for air.
throw keys away,
the shutters shake
like grannies turned
a bright teenage
with heads thrown back
and parted lips,
the wildest things
on their tongue tips.
lock your devils up
and bind your longings
in barbed wire
electric fence.
swinging arms
and stuttered steps
mix yellow dust
with fevered sweat,
and eyes rolled back,
and to the west,
the blackest clouds
the biggest mess.
and rather than
an april shower
falling soft
to cool our skin,
send us lightning
and tornadoes,
sweep us up, sweep us up
and start again.
the sky is brewing
thick and static,

fall off their porches,

with heads thrown back
and parted lips,
the wildest things
on their tongue tips.
and bind your longings
in barbed wire

with fevered sweat,
and eyes rolled back,
and to the west,

the biggest mess.
an april shower
falling soft
to cool our skin,
send us lightning
and tornadoes,
sweep us up, sweep us up
and start again.
