The New Number Five

by Hugo Grayling and the Deserters

/

lyrics

Every crack in the road
Becomes a poisonous snake
If you travel alone
That's the chance that you take
Every letter from home
Shakes you
Dead awake

But he's a generous man
If you beg him to be
You have to drive him to church
You'd rather sink in the sea
So light a candle and pine
Deep white
Heat, light, free

And every tree
In stark, dry clarity
Vibrates with sympathy
