lyrics

BLOOD RED SHOES

I can hear your bulldogs howling in the middle of the night
Sounds like they’re hungry—
Then again it sounds like a fight
Sounds like they hate one another
& they hate me & you
You can hear it in the wind;
You can hear it in the music too

Fingers snapping
& I see you sway on your dancer’s feet
Fingers snapping
& clapping hands to the Mersey beat
See you follow me
& I’ll follow you anywhere
From the killing floor
All the way to the county fair
You got blood-red shoes

I can hear your bulldogs howling everywhere I go
& I know they’re always around
But they never show
There’s a band on the bandstand
& ladies in line at the bar
I got nowhere to go
If I can’t be where you are

"There’s substance, originality, & cleverness at work here. I admire how these people take something that already exists traditionally & reinterpret it with their own ingredients to create something truly effective that resonates. This record is straight whiskey. Tom Waits would be proud."—AMERICANA HIGHWAYS ... more
