Bill Callahan Lyrics- Javelin Unlanding
You looked like worldwide armageddon
While you slept
You looked so peaceful
You scare me
Don’t die just yet and leave me
Alone, alone, alone on this journey round the sun
And Oh javelin
Oh javelin
Unlanding
And Oh javelin
Oh javelin
Unlanding
Sometimes it’s hard to know when to call it an evening
See as much as we can stand
Stand ‘til we stagger
Laying all twisted together and exposed
Like roots on a riverbank
Bam bam bam
The earth off its axis
The first draft’s in ashes and smeared on our faces
Oh javelin
Oh javelin
Unlanding
Oh javelin
Oh javelin
Unlanding
You looked like worldwide armageddon
While you slept
You looked so peaceful
You scare me
Don’t die just yet and leave me
Alone, alone, alone on this journey round the sun
And Oh javelin
Oh javelin
Unlanding
And Oh javelin
Oh javelin
Unlanding
Sometimes it’s hard to know when to call it an evening
See as much as we can stand
Stand ‘til we stagger
Laying all twisted together and exposed
Like roots on a riverbank
Bam bam bam
The earth off its axis
The first draft’s in ashes and smeared on our faces
Oh javelin
Oh javelin
Unlanding
Oh javelin
Oh javelin
Unlanding
