"Spirit Ditch" lyrics - SPARKLEHORSE

SPARKLEHORSE
"Spirit Ditch"
(Mark Linkous)

I want my records back
And that motorcycle gas tank that I spray painted black
The owls have been talking to me
But I'm sworn to secrecy

[Chorus:]
I woke up in a burnt-out basement
Sleeping with metal hands
In a spirit ditch

The moon it will rise with such
Horse laughter is dragging pianos to the ocean
If I had a home
You'd know it'd be in a slide trombone

[Chorus:]
I woke up in a burnt-out basement
Sleeping with metal hands
In a spirit ditch

[Interlude:]
(Mom on answering machine interlude)

[Chorus:]
I woke up in a burnt-out basement
Sleeping with metal hands
In a spirit ditch
