The Milkman’s Union, Lady Lamb - Texas Hold Me lyrics

One is for sorrow two is for joy
Three is for girls and four is for boys

She crossed herself when she seen a crow
Superstition, I left her in the
Pines and the snow
But superstition ain't why I
Left that girl behind
More a reductive scientism simultaneously
Occupying her ontology I don't know why
One, two, three, One, two, three

Texas hold me I'm going blind
I'm dragging behind the wheels of time
Texas hold me I'm going dumb
I have bitten my tongue
That's where the blood come from
I don't know why

Her little heart's beating
She don't know where I go
I'm headed to Texas after that I don't know

Her green grey eyes her translucent hand
Beckon to me from a translucent land
I don't know why

Texas hold me I'm going blind
I'm dragging behind the wheels of time
Texas hold me I'm going dumb
I have bitten my tongue
That's where the blood come from
I don't know why

Now I sit waiting for that fateful train
Reading De Maupassant in the
Early spring rain
His characters are good though
A little bit flat
Then again so am I in my white cowboy hat
I don't know why

Texas hold me I'm going blind
I'm dragging behind the wheels of time
Texas hold me I'm going dumb
I have bitten my tongue
That's where the blood come from
I don't know why
