lyrics

bring me a bring me a rocking horse
mark it down on your waywiser
bring it for bring it for pentecost
mark it down on your waywiser

bring me a bring me a scarlet bell
mark it down on your waywiser
bring it bring it to the cistern well
mark it down on your waywiser

i wanna roll
i wanna roll
i wanna roll you into a ball

bring me a bring me a hemlock wreath
mark it down on your waywiser
black elms bending into eldritch teeth
mark it down on your waywiser

bring me a bring me a writhing wind
mark it down on your waywiser
dome of wood where your pathway ends
mark it down on your waywiser

i wanna roll
i wanna roll
i wanna roll you into a ball
this is what you came here for
oh, this is what you came here for

and my eyes are steamin’
like a man-horse-demon
and my eyes are steamin’
like a man-horse-demon
and my eyes are steamin’…
like a man-horse-demon
