Lyrics Better Angels - Califone

Better Angels

William hovers bear trap teeth
Tender necks on tender knives
Cindy prone hung by heat
Soaks her dress in a long convulsion
Unremembering, nest on winter bears, on broken trees that we can last (eat each
other)
Orbits crack spring comes late william sheds another wife
Wrists for pulses seed the clouds quiet as the first snow
Cold logic now, her hot tears make me erect, the shred of hope that we could
last
Vexations gathering to re-assemble our impasse
Better angels drunk and slow sung to sleep in kitchen Spanish
Unremembering, nest on winter bears, on broken trees that we can last (eat each
other)
Better angels of our nature
Mercy mercy let this change take
Winter bears dream kitchen Spanish
Mercy mercy let this healing take
