Buffalo Tom - Our Poverty Lyrics

Buffalo Tom Lyrics

"Our Poverty"

Inventive in our poverty
My present blasts my past
I'm wearing down the battery
And hope to God it lasts

A reckoning, a gathering
A festival of hearts
A coronation of desires
My needs submerged by wants

Break the skin and bleed it out
Your secret's safe with me
We'll launder all our linen when
We are safe and free

A finger traced along a face
A smile through the fog
Your vitriol's insufferable
But it won't be declawed

Break the skin and bleed it out
Your secret's safe with me
We'll launder all our linen when
We are safe and free

Don't cry no tears, they're not for me
We sing when we are young
From Dallas down to Ho Chi Min
This song will still be sung

Break the skin and bleed it out
Your secret's safe with me
We'll launder all our linen when
We are safe and free
