Sharp turn down a hillside
Quick twist through the pines
Faint words through a thin mouth
Cold crack just to shake the mind
Boy, caught you down by the creek
With the strangers that you seek
Gonna get those hands dirty
Just to wash them clean again
Sing a song for the little ones
Donning feathers and perfume
Remembering the nightly stumble
A taste, lest you seal your doom
Sharp earth against the nose
Where the skunk cabbage grows
Took a hard sniff of something real
Dripping down where it always goes
