Dirty and True - Hawksley Workman
a penny on the ground every day, every day
and she's whispering her needs as i pass along the way
she bought a ticket to my pocket and she's shiny for the show
there's a penny in my pocket don't you know
we were naked on the ground beneath the moon, beneath the stars
we were beasts about to burst and the newborn night was ours
all our singing turned to fire you could see the flames from here
we were naked on the ground so don't you fear
i don't think i wish to ever return
there's a haze about the room where we sleep, where we lay
and the candles light up softly and our bodies gone away
your eyes are little windows i get closer till i see
you left them open with a ladder just for me
it was nice and warm
it felt so much like home
shelter to a storm
happy little worm
basic human needs are
just below the surface
animal desire
i can hardly wait to
fall down beside you
collapse from a night of
exhaustion so burning,
so dirty and true
