lyrics

I used to wish that you were dead
For the sake of sympathy
I'd picture your blood running red
And tender faces turned toward me

I wished you'd suffer dark misfortune
Go down drowning on the river bed
You'd lose your shape to wet distortion
And they'd find my broken mother dead

I think it was some summer morning
Lightning struck your naked mind
And overwhelmed your body—storming
Through the circuits in your spine

Somebody spoke with something lethal
Someone dreamed that you would die
Somebody summoned something evil
With no great notion why

Chorus
Something evil
Start the fire
Conjure devils
Turn higher

I've never seen a person like you
So sad and pale and kind
And no one hates my head like I do
Though it's been a very long time

I used to live in savage places
I built my savage heart
'Til Mother burst and left no traces—
Tore the Earth apart

I like to think you would forgive me
For the things I used to feel
I wish that I could tell you every
Single sin one could reveal

I hope you're living somewhere pretty
I hope you have a flower bed
Between the spires of your city
And the gathering dead

Chorus

Pale People Missoula, montana

Missoula, MT’s worst-kept secret.
An eccentric piano-rock quartet with a varied oeuvre, from soft confessionals to howling rants about the lonely and insane.
Better than sex. Cheaper than therapy.
