lyrics
i left with my instructions
printed on your skin
hungover under the olive trees
wondering where you’ve been
the bosses fold us like sheets into ourselves
there’s a saint in the streets
he’s got healing hands he needs to wash
darling won’t you come with me
to the next prayer meeting
lift our chairs above our heads
and dance like true believers
i left under surveillance
the bishops know where i live
i’ve got your razor in my pocket
and a shadow you won’t forgive
the bosses come while i sleep
slip a file beneath my door
they know how hard she’ll weep
when they have her on the floor
i’ve got the ghost in a cage
as a bargaining chip
i wrote your instructions on a page
with the blood from my lip
you will find me disguised as a story
in three days i’ll burn these robes
and we can share in the glory
printed on your skin
hungover under the olive trees
wondering where you’ve been
the bosses fold us like sheets into ourselves
there’s a saint in the streets
he’s got healing hands he needs to wash
darling won’t you come with me
to the next prayer meeting
lift our chairs above our heads
and dance like true believers
i left under surveillance
the bishops know where i live
i’ve got your razor in my pocket
and a shadow you won’t forgive
the bosses come while i sleep
slip a file beneath my door
they know how hard she’ll weep
when they have her on the floor
i’ve got the ghost in a cage
as a bargaining chip
i wrote your instructions on a page
with the blood from my lip
you will find me disguised as a story
in three days i’ll burn these robes
and we can share in the glory

about
Munny & the Cameraman Portland, Oregon
Born out of an acoustic tradition, Munny & the Cameraman incorporates a uniquely textured mix of instrumental musings and lyrical intensity. What started eight years ago has grown into a "beyond-acoustic" partnership - carefully blending styles of Americana folk, blues, jazz and indie-rock. M&tC is a sonic experience that feels strangely familiar, like you've known them all along. ... more
