Totem Poles

it took a long time to get you home
spinning that necklace around your throat
flowers on her boots
curls in her hair
whens the last time you found anything down there
dont think youre going to wash that paint off your skin
and your mamas been wondering where youve been
so you wish theyll go and fill all those holes
with giant wooden totem poles
you said you were the only one
you better move along
you said you were the only one
well you better shake those bones

Go Tell Your Man

she wanted a silver car
so she could drive real far
across the state line
over the hills and out of sight
go tell your man
go tell your man
go tell your man
i'm here for you
directions from the toothless man
some words you barely understand
hide your heart in the hole
so your lover wont take his toll
go tell your man
go tell your man
go tell your man
i'm here for you
drink from the cup of your god
you didnt think it would be this hot
now its time you disappear
now its time he used his ears
go tell your man
go tell your man
go tell your man
i'm here for you

what are you doing here?
can you do it to me?
got your photo taped to my wall
in the penitentiary
because i want you to come around
and i want to hear your heart pound
got your head
and its all mixed up
dont know what to do
youve been locked up so long
they almost forgot about you
youve got it bad and youre so in love
but youre stuck behind those walls
cut your cigarettes in half
youve got enough to share for two
youve got it band and youre so in love
but you dont know what to do
so bake a cake with your heart inside
and a key to unlock you
no youre never going to see it through
no youre never going to see
because i want you to come around
and i want to hear your heart pound
