Sacred Heart

Sacred Heart - Cass McCombs

Sacred Heart surveyed from the summit

A pantheon distant as ever

Echoing up the mountainside

Escaped sound like a vulcan kiss upon the forehead

Alas Jimmy

And all the members of the covenant

Noble scholars

Without you I'd have drowned in gutterwater

Alas

You of course have my infinite gratitude

You My Most Sacred Heart

Yet I piss and moan for I have

Dearly Departed

We are gathered here today in reverence

Dearly Departed

We all will return to the soil

Alas

Alas

For all my Alas -es

I cannot mend this massive slashing

Futile beacon

Cinderella's in the doghouse

The doghouse

The doghouse
