Wash my rags in dirty water
In the bed named for the slaughter
On the banks
Oh, on the banks
Down on my knees in a church without bells
I take from my cup without faucet without well
On the banks, on the banks, oh on the banks
Well we crossed our stars over a tombstone tree
And we hung ourselves from the mercy string
And we dug our love out of the clay and the heat
On the banks, on the banks, oh on the banks
And then the earth shook
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na
Carry what you need leave what you can’t carry
And we’ll light out for the east, for the east
To bury our bones, bloody our feet
Far from the banks, far from the banks, far from the banks
And then the earth shook
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na (4x)
Wash my rags in dirty water
In the bed named for the slaughter
On the banks, on the banks, oh on the banks
where our poor, dry bones now lay
