"Arm of David"
( l y r i c s )
ARM OF DAVID

It's a sling on the arm of David
It's the brain of a Dead-head friend
It's the cool of a frozen meat hook
It's a crack in the rising sun

It's a break at the edge of darkness
It's a mark on a newborn head
It's a dream in a foreign language
It's the taste of a lover's tongue

(chorus)
I kiss the lie
Kiss the lie away

It's a turn down a wrong way street boy
It's a bid for a living grave
It's a brace for a withered arm chair
And it's the fear of a warm embrace

It's the cream of a mother's milk bone
It's the crown in an empty room
It's a rape in a virgin forest
It's the rant of a world insane
(to chorus)

It's a lie in the right place
At the wrong time

It's the seed of an ancient redwood
It's the gasp of the last clean rain
It's the worth of a rich man's ashes
It's a bird with a missing wing
(to chorus)

It's a lie in the right place
At the wrong time
