  • What's the matter here? You'll never repair

    The lady's cursed with insight

    You'll never fix her, with a cold stare

    She's all broken inside

    She made a good go like a weeping willow

    Her limbs clung to the ground

    She closed the window and made a pillow

    And lay the head down

    And as her babies slept, she took a long deep breath

    Now they're zipping her up in a bag

    Can you hear her blacks crackle & drag?

    And the Cadillac's waiting to take her away

    Can you hear her blacks crackle & drag?

    Another head cold, another spirit old

    February

    Her hair was dirty and she was thirty in 1963

    And while her babies slept, she took a long deep breath

    And they're zipping her up in a bag

    Can you hear her blacks crackle & drag?

    The Cadillac's waiting to take her away

    Can you hear her blacks crackle & drag?

    And drag, and drag, and drag

    And drag, and drag

    She made a good go for a weeping willow

    She stuffed some rags on the floor

    She closed the window

    She made a pillow on the oven door

    And took a long deep breath while her babies slept

    Now they're zipping her up in a bag

    Can you hear her blacks crackle & drag?

    And the Cadillac's waiting to take her away

    Can you hear her blacks crackle & drag?

    They're zipping her up in a bag

    Can you hear her blacks crackle & drag?

    The Cadillac's waiting to take her away

    Can you hear her blacks crackle & drag?
