A Vineyard for the North

歌詞

Under the heel Under the heel Heard you're lower than hell 'Cause you're keeping it real Don't think because I'm not doing more in the moment, I'm not doing more I've seen what comes from point scoring I was born torn between warring factions I'm practically a doormat I'm so diplomatic now 'Cause so often those that mean well don't know they're problematic Myself included I know I'm not easily spooked, but I still shudder at how far removed we are from moving on So go easy on us Nothing to see here, people, move along Crushing biscuits in the carpet with the thumb of God's good grace And no respect for how the fibres frayed make space for new mess I look awkward when I'm walking forwards even when I'm not A static shot of mad propulsion stood convulsing in one spot We want tomorrow now, whichever way the chips may fall 'Cause trust me, one day soon when winter doesn't come I'm gonna buy that valley below We'll build a vineyard in the north Under the heel Heard you're lower than hell 'Cause you're keeping it real Is it treating you well? Don't wanna meet with my maker, so I'm quitting the band I wanna buy a few acres, live off the fat of the land Cap in hand, I stand before her I don't wanna talk about it I just want be left alone But still, I'm gonna bug those red-tape conversations More mandatory sour grapes A toast to borrowed time You know that idea was mine though, yeah The wine idea was mine Can't see a way through Though I know I fought tooth and nail for you And if truth dies on the vine tonight, so be it History never looks the same from both sides And when darkness surrounds you Perhaps that's 'cause you're the black hole? I dunno Keen hobbyist to semi pro, but I still got soul Don't let it go to waste Amateur sommelier, I get paid to get pissed these days It's ace Do what you love, and you'll never work another day in your life Until the well runs dry, that is Behold the final dawn flung from the moon's mad jaws Crawling back into its hole I made a promise to you all A vineyard for the North Under the heel Heard you're lower than hell 'Cause you're keeping it real Is it treating you well? Don't wanna meet with my maker, so I'm quitting the band I wanna buy a few acres, live off the fat of the land Cap in hand, I stand before her Mother Nature, bring me water Under the heel Heard you're lower than hell 'Cause you're keeping it real Is it treating you well? Under the heel 'Cause you're keeping it real And they said that on this soil under that sun No more could grow But just look Behold God's green glow rolling over the valleys below But go steady We're at the mercy of the storm clouds now Under the heel Heard you're lower than hell Because you're keeping it real Don't wanna meet with my maker, so I'm quitting the band I wanna buy a few acres, live off the fat of the land Cap in hand, I stand before her Mother Nature, bring me water Under the heel Heard you're lower than hell 'Cause you're keeping it real A vineyard for the North Keeping it Keeping it Keeping it real Keeping it Keeping it Keeping it Keeping it real Mother Nature Mother Nature Mother Nature, bring me water Mother Nature Mother Nature Mother Nature, bring me water Mother Nature Mother Nature Mother Nature, bring me water Mother Nature Mother Nature Mother Nature, bring me water This is the hour of letting pain go
