Suck The Gas

[Opening of "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive"] Let's play cops and robbers Double dutch with scotch inside of my closet Just you and me, and let's see Take a trip down to Haven Hole Suck the gas from between your toes We'll breathe, indeed, you and me [Chorus] Up in these hills You can't come down Head in the sky Brain in a plough Nothing in common Nothing to say But something is here anyway Born to slush in a ghost hospice Auspicious start and even bleaker end Is how the timeline goes Along the way the script got flipped From Steli parties, headlining a Cliffs eclipse On then to where, God knows [Chorus] My pa always asked for no drama It's why I chose rhythm, mother And it's here I plan to stay The avenue to the rusted old wreck I'll drag this sinking island to the stars just yet Even if I do it solo [Chorus] In the deep, dark hills of the Eastern Isles That's the place where I lay my bloodline And it's there that I read on a piss-soaked gravestone You might just leave this Island alive
