Frank Black and the Catholics
Valley of Our Hope
Near to his conclusion
Even though he was a fusion
Man of cross-eyed rubies and ash upon the snow
Over and over he said "Woe

Numbered are my days so let's go
Wonderful to make your kind intrusion"

Angling to get notice
Under dark skies of Van Nuys
Giving speeches though I knew him as the organist
Imploring with his eyes
Ever-offering a sweet kiss

Tu eres un oso de miel dorado ay yay yay

Here in the valley of our hope
Over the the hill of pain
May we always cling to the sight of each other
Enjoying all things

Eduardo he's a movie star
Delivered here by Savior's truck
Deliverance it was from bad, bad luck
Instead it's just one hand was struck
Eventually tore his finger so hard
Three limbs would serve the boyish star

Terrible screaming her
Underworld dreaming her
Lady was steaming her
Able assault
Better her vault
Eduardo's sister she is called
Lady of the secret place
Lies asleep within those walls
Escaping from my telephone calls

Countess of egyptian airspace
Number-crunching as she falls
Fortran in her tiny face

Here in the valley of our hope
Over the the hill of pain
May we always cling to the sight of each other
Enjoying all things

Pleased to see you once again
How about we get to be friends?
Occam's Razor we surely will obey
Every night we'll dance the dance
Never will I go away
I said never will I go away
Xanax if you really want
Count on us to keep you sane
The whole place is your haunt
Someday will you change the taunt
Of your old name that came
Five years in the flames

Cinder black is coming back
Underneath a sun that set
Believe me I have no regret
Believe me she will never lack
Yesiree she is come back

Sixteen tons and what do you get?

Here in the valley of our hope
Over the the hill of pain
May we always cling to the sight of each other
Enjoying all things
