Camels Swapped For Wives

King Creosote

verse 1 A postcard arrives I see you're on your walk well I hope the promised land Is more than sand and rocks and camels swapped for wives Before you saddle up Before your Judas knocks 3 times and betrays you to the cops Spare a thought for our worries over your state of mind So what if you leave behind some trouble with the law? It's not so long since your attempt to crucify their dog Your chosen one, the one whose cross will blaze on high To warn us that meteoric retribution falls down from the skies Well I don't give a fuck about that (Cos you cannot)(?) be still my brother (An ancient memory)(?), Father, Mother Don't take them down any further Just 'cos hell won't leave you alone Just 'cos hell won't l-e-a-v-e you alone... verse 2 You swan in Craigtoun Pond Clad only in your socks And you've ran naked in the snow Upon your Calgary Rock You've watched us with the Devil's Eye half closed behind your mind You know the day, the date, the time, but not the why Well I don't give a fuck about that! (Cos you cannot)(?) be still my brother (An ancient memory)(?), Father, Mother Don't take them down any further Just 'cos hell won't leave you alone Just 'cos hell won't leave you alone Just 'cos hell won't l-e-a-v-e you alone... CODA (x4) Gonna help bring you up Won't leave you on your own You know that hell won't leave you alone...
