Jesse

[Refrain]

(Pow! Pow!)

(Pow! Pow!)

[Verse 1]

Nose holes caked in black cocaine (Pow! Pow!)

No one holds a match to your skin (Pow! Pow!)

No dupe, no chiming, a way off miles off

No needle through a glove

[Refrain]

(Pow! Pow!)

[Chorus]

Famine is a tall, tall tower

A building left in the night

Jesse, are you listening?

It casts its ruins in shadows

Under Memphis moonlight

Jesse are you listening?

[Refrain]

(Pow! Pow!)

(Pow! Pow!)

[Verse 2]

Six feet of foetus flung at sparrows in the sky

Put yourself in my shoes

A kiss, wet, muzzle, a clouded eye

No stars to flush it out

[Chorus]

Famine is a tall, tall tower

A building left in the night

Jesse, are you listening?

It casts its ruins in shadows

Under Memphis moonlight

Jesse, are you listening?

[Refrain]

(Pow! Pow!)

(Pow! Pow!)

[Verse 3]

In the dream I am crawling around on my hands and knees

Smoothing out the prairie

All the dents and the gouges and the winds dying down

I lower my head, press my ear to the prairie

[Outro]

Alive

I'm the only one left alive

I'm the only one left alive

I'm the only one left alive

Alive

I'm the only one left alive

I'm the only one left alive

I'm the only one left alive
