Pillgrim

Ozark Henry · This Last Warm Solitude [1999]

we're looking out to see what's new

we're looking in to get some truth

with all we say

with all we do

we have a key

but not a clue

since death came knocking on my dooor

i'm not welcome anymore



looking out i see a face

i recognize an old disgrace

with all we say

with all we do

the needle is a pillgrim to

since death came knocking on my door

i'm not welcome anymore



we're looking out to see what's new

we're looking in to get some truth

i know you've tried

you made it through

the needle is a pillgrim to

since death came knocking on your door

i'm not welcome anymore



pillgrim



i forget about bread

i apologize to life

making friends with death

i get high , i get by

with a spoon against the blues

a needle friendly cruel

i renumber , nullify abilities

i fool away the youth bloom

to mingle with a zoom

of children living loud

filling up the crowd

keeping desire

keeping the desire
