And the word is out, the word is out, it's all around, you never loved me Bring the armies, the townsfolk, the countrymen, let's all have a vote And the nation is hungry for answers that you never gave All your brothers are running away from terrible dreams I have lived my last, and breathed my last, and wept my last under the old moon And the blood of the oranges, the nectarines, the citrus we shared And the people are waiting on porches for your naked voice All the demons are standing around waiting to pounce Oh, the seed Oh, of joy Is lost

The Seed of Joy (Southern Gothic)
And the word is out, the word is out, it's all around, you never loved me Bring the armies, the townsfolk, the countrymen, let's all have a vote And the nation is hungry for answers that you never gave All your brothers are running away from terrible dreams I have lived my last, and breathed my last, and wept my last under the old moon And the blood of the oranges, the nectarines, the citrus we shared And the people are waiting on porches for your naked voice All the demons are standing around waiting to pounce Oh, the seed Oh, of joy Is lost
