Second Cousin

Music - Gary Morrell

Words - Kevin Doyle

Appears on Efitol

 

It’s just that time of day

when the light gets thrown in sideways

just the right setting 

to make a big mistake 

I am that super clean 

soul device sells itself machine 

don't think twice 

oh holy, holy 

the trees have all been picked 

dig up great grandma 

and give her a kick

 

she's my second cousin

I wish she wasn't

Here's comes the breakdown

she's my second cousin

I wish she wasn't

But she is

 

A bit homely in a way 

But they’re coming from all the byways 

Daddy set the bidding 

Best offer gets the take 

My mind still holds the dream 

Devils device, she knows just what I mean 

Don’t think twice 

Oh holy, holy 

We can make it stick 

She’s putting her hand out now 

She’s made her pick

 

finding visions in the ether                             

from off your comet tail

and up until now

been holding up so well 

you and me neither 

think this will turn out well 

but still I'm sneaking out to meet her

under a moonlit country hill 

 

but you know what? 

I don't give a damn 

I feel the breakdown 

I can sense the end 

can feel it turning 

pulling me over the bend 

most surely made it 

proudly sleep in this bed 

oh hell we'll all be sleeping, 

in the ground in the end

 

she's my second cousin 

I wish she wasn't 

Here's comes the breakdown 

she's my second cousin 

I wish she wasn't 

But she is
