Sinner

Dandy From Home

Everyday I’m figuring it out
Five dollars in my bank account
Fruit flies circling around
Sinner, grab a gun, chase them down

Forget what I did the other day
Walking back into old mistakes
Doing my best to stay awake
Running a finger down a scab on my face

There’s the gun
In front of me
I saw love
Hidden in the weeds

Now there’s nothing up ahead but a big wide road
That slowly starts to narrow, bend for an arrow that you hold
Don’t think I can’t see you pulling the string back, aiming it right past me
At the shadow that’s been following me since the ground hit my knees

On a bed of splinters, the earth at my feet
Rest my hand where the sun’s lips kissed my cheek
I don’t mean to act like I owe the sweat on my back
To the drop of a dime, to the bug on my neck

There’s the gun
In front of me
I saw love
Hidden in the weeds
Sinner, let me go across the hill
To the valley, don’t leave me here burning up in hell
Sinner, you’re a ghost
A man possessed by rows of people staring you down
As you crawl to the end of the hall

There’s a light bulb
Burning little holes
Straight through my fingers
Filling them back up with gold

Take some fruit right off the tree near the river where you drowned
Take a bite and spit the seeds back into the ground
No devil in your company if you never turn around
Just take some fruit right off the tree near the river where you drowned
Where you drowned

My wings carry me through a hole in the wall
To the valley, to my old home, to salvation
There’s warmth in my heart walking into the light
Into the sun
Into the fire
Into fire

Sinner, grab a gun, chase me down
Sinner, grab a gun, chase me down
Sinner, grab a gun, chase me down
Sinner, grab a gun, chase me down
