Places


I woke up to an unmade bed, with checkered walls and a velvet rug

In the eye of the ghost with the eagle heart instead.

The rat patrol was on my tail, but I knew what I could do

Now listen to the rats rush in

Magnolia.

 

Schoolly D in a velvet sun, the dead horse runs away.

His voice sounded like a Roman holiday

Fern wood seeds and motor oil, I have no time to sit and toil

Today.

 

If you knew the places I've been, you'd surely lose your head

Don't wonder if the crows would eat your kin

Magnolia
