lyrics

They heard about the mountain around here.
They heard about the mountain around here.
The boulders angle to the Valley of my God.
They heard about the mountain around here.

There ain't an oil on their skin I wouldn't taste.
There ain't an oil on their skin I wouldn't taste.
Though my tongue is tethered to the fountain of my god.
There ain't an oil I wouldn't taste.

I've known these rocks for years.
And the hole in the hills was for me.
The torn cloth I found from you
Keeps my nose sniffing all day.

The Valley will flood in search of you,
and He won't flood again.
When he drains he'll tell me to find you and bury
You beneath the pine.
