Lyrics

Ram in the Thicket

A wraith in a raincoat paid cash for the ticket

A ram got caught by his horns in the thicket

Motels, mattresses, packets of matches

Detectives ask questions: "Exactly what happened?"

Sacramento sort of felt like a sacrifice

But also sort of seemed like a scam

In the bonfire ashes, in the camps by the creek

The dogs scratched up a bracelet and teeth

We were swarmed by the flies, we were rubbing our eyes

I saw Isaac in the parking lot standing with some other guy

If you see him, maybe ask him why

Why he wouldn't introduce me to that other guy

With our wrists wrapped up in the cables and cords

We were down in some ditch getting soaked by the storm

Some strange [?] took a torch to the corn

A ram in the thicket and it's caught by its horn

California came on with a promise

At first I kind of believed it

Now it seems needy and desperate

And the ram's all stuck in the thicket

It's a horn in the thicket belongs to the ram

That clouded our voices, said someone call Abraham

Tell your girl to chill, tell her Isaac understands

And those little white pills, they look so big in tiny hands

Tell the ram to hold still, it's too late to make new plans

Sacramento sort of felt like a sacrifice

It also sort of seemed like a scam

It's too late to make new plans

It's too late to make new plans

It's too late to make new plans

It's too late to make new plans
