lyrics

head up, head up on a spike for the crowd
the cannibal king takes a bite and takes a bow
but yeah, the conquest is wearing him down

last on his mind when the candle goes out
the carpenter thinks how the house will come down
a decade or two and the weather wins out

singing, "long days, long days coming."
singing, "hard times, hard times again."

darling, you're a terrible beauty right now
a cannibal queen with your red talons out
and yeah, i'm just the blood in your mouth

last on his mind when the torch lights go out
the cannibal king dreams of cornfields and plows
and yeah, the quiet strength of the carpenter's house

singing, "long days, long days coming."
singing, "hard times, hard times again."

yesper Seattle, Washington

yesper is a box with strings, one pair of hands, a mouth and a mic. Seattle is home now, but I still miss Virginia from time to time. i make records by myself because i'm afraid of commitment. i make records in secret so that they'll sound mysterious. i make records.
