Curl Of The Burl

Album: The Hunter (2011)

  • I killed a man 'cause he killed my goat
    I put my hands around his throat
    He tried to reason with the sky and the clouds
    But it didn't matter, 'cause they can't hear a sound

    Oh
    Oh
    Oh
    Oh oh oh

    It's just the curl of the burl
    It's just the curl of the burl
    That's just the way of the world
    It's just the curl of the burl

    Splinters in my skin, just like needles and pins
    I cut through the pine, love the feeling it gives
    Been out here for days running through these trees
    I'm using my hands, cuttin' through the disease

    Oh
    Oh
    Oh
    Oh oh oh

    It's just the curl of the burl
    It's just the curl of the burl
    That's just the way of the world
    It's just the curl of the burl

    I feed the powerless
    Chewed it up, spit the rest
    I feed the powerless
    Chewed it up, spit out the rest

    It's just the curl of the burl
    It's just the curl of the burl
    That's just the way of the world
    It's just the curl of the burl

    Oh
    Oh oh
    Oh
    Oh oh oh

    Oh
    Oh oh
    Oh
