LYRICS:

Ashes

There’s a coal mine in this canary
and when she sings, ashes come out,
and what’s most extraordinary
is how it rings, ashes, round her mouth.
Ashes come out when she opens her mouth.
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.

There’s room inside this elephant,
we could all climb in, not talk about nothin’,
just pretend pretty words keep the ugly out
of this big tent, but ashes come out
when they open their mouths.

There’s a China-shop in every bull,
habits we’d break if only we could,
things we’d clear out of ourselves
if we could get ourselves clear and understood,
but ashes come out when we open our mouths.
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
