When the god of love returns
There’ll be hell to pay
Though the world may be out of excuse
I know just what I would say
That the seven trumpets sound
As a locust sky grows dark
But first let’s take you on a quick tour of your creation’s handiwork
Billy got through the prisons and stores
And the pale horse looks a little sick
Says, “Jesus, you didn’t leave a whole lot for me
If this isn’t hell already then tell me what the hell is?”
And we say it’s just human, human nature
This is place is savage and unjust
We crawled out of the darkness
And endured your impatience
We’re more than willing to adjust
And now you’ve got the gall to judge us
The spider spins his web
The tiger stalks his prey
And we steal fire from the heavens to try to keep the night at bay
Every monster has a code
One that steadies the shaking hand
And he’s determined to accrue more capital by whatever means he can
Oh, it’s just human, human nature
We’ve got these appetites to serve
You must not know the first thing about human beings
We’re the earth’s most soulful predator
Try something less ambitious the next time you get bored
Oh, my Lord
We just want light in the dark
Some warmth in the cold
And to make something out of nothing sounds like someone else I know

○ ” Father John Misty ” Songs :
● “Nancy From Now On”
[Quotable]
I’m going where my body leads me
I can fend for myself
With what looks I have left
I’ll put away a few
And pretty soon I’ll be breaking things like Howard Hughes
● “The Night Josh Tillman Came To Our Apartment”
[Quotable]
We sang “Silent Night” in three parts which was fun
Till she said that she sounds just like Sarah Vaughan
I hate that soulful affectation white girls put on
Why don’t you move to the Delta?
I obliged later on when you begged me to choke ya
● “Holy ***”
[Quotable ]
Age-old gender roles
Infotainment, capital
Golden boughs and mercury
Bohemian nightmare,
Dust bowl chic
This documentary’s lost on me
Satirical news, free energy
Mobile lifestyle, loveless ***
Independence, happiness
● “Bored In The USA”
[Quotable ]
Oh, just a little bored in the USA
Save me, white Jesus
Bored in the USA
Oh, they gave me a useless education
And a subprime loan
On a craftsman home
● “Real Love Baby”
[Quotable ]
I’m in love, I’m alive
I belong to the stars and sky
Let’s forget who we are for one night
We’re not animals baby
It’s the people who lie
● “He Doesn’t Know Why “
[Quotable ]
See your rugged hands and a silver knife
Twenty dollars in your hand that you hold so tight
All the evidence of your vacant life
My brother, you were gone
● “Blue Ridge Mountains”
[ Quotable]
You’re ever welcome with me any time you like
Let’s drive to the country side, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes
So no one gets worried, no
● “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song”
[Quotable]
Dear shadow, alive and well
How can the body die?
You tell me everything
Anything true
