Cake Bake Betty
Eleanor
[Verse 1]
I was wasted on the trigger
In the river, I was waiting
I was wanting, ever wanting
What I could not yet become
Let the sea change, let's remember
All the good I did in the ending
Was no more than spare repentance
This is nothing like my home

[Verse 2]
On the table, I was ready
Blood it glistened, gods they listened
Running wild after chalice
Just to let them take me on
See the whirling of the sky lights
Beasts surround me, all around me
Trains pull out from under mantles
Just to listen with us all

[Verse 3]
And with colors captivating
Eleanor stood, cold and waiting
She was bathing me in blessings
That confronted as I cried
See the whole of me igniting
Clever hands with brushes biting
Cross the river to the town
With the names of every sacrifice inside
[Verse 4]
Oh, my precious demon darlings
Come to hold me, death unfold me
I'll remove me to the chambers
Where I know I'll feel alive
Dance in circles atop grasses
Crossing over, lo, behold her
In the places of our reaches
Where the beasts had set their lives
But the water ceased to bargain
We are stranded where we've landed
Break the circle, take us back to
Where we feel we need to be

[Verse 5]
Watching careful, the completion
Of the cosmos where the shy glow
Sleeping sound now that I've
Found my dearest friend outside my door
Bound for new life, making thunder
East is over, West is under
Found the home of drag race runners
Comfort flaring in my sheets

[Verse 6]
Now we'll head back up to Monmouth
Where the kids are seldom honest
Cross the borders past the train yards
I will enter just to breathe
But in time, we'll come for lovers
We will cradle one another
We will wander past the distance
For our merry mouths to me
