Sacred Heart
Cass McCombs
Sacred Heart
Surveyed from the summit
A pantheon, distant as ever
Echoing up the mountainside
Escaped sound like a kiss upon the forehead
Alas!
Jimmy and all the members of the covenant
Noble scholars, without you, I'd have drowned in gutter water
Alas!
You, of course, have my infinite gratitude
You, My Most Sacred Heart
Yet I piss and moan for outcome
For outcome, for outcome
Dearly Departed
We are gathered here today in reverence
Dearly Departed
We all will return to the soil
Alas!
Alas!
For all my Alas!-es
I cannot mend this massive slashing
Futile beacon!
Cinderella's in the doghouse
The doghouse
The doghouse
No, love doesn't always boomerang
