Emily di*kinson lyrics

[Verse 1]
The farmhouse was overtaken
By vine and the snake
Hooked on phantom power
The acres seemed to ache
Pursued by floating rebels
They'd take us, if they could
I thought a spell of country living
Would do my spirits good

[Chorus]
Emily di*kinson
Won't you lay your hair down low?
Staring out the windowpane
There's so much more to know
Emily di*kinson
All buttoned down in Victoria black
Let's watch the white clouds run
With the cool grass on our backs

[Verse 2]
The door mouse was mistaken
There was no quarter there
The attic and the cellar
Were but jaws of a bear
The hunter was the quarry
All tangled in the wood
I thought a spell of country living
Would do my spirits good
[Chorus]
Emily di*kinson
Won't you lay your hair down low?
Staring out the windowpane
There's so much more to know
Emily di*kinson
All buttoned down in Victoria black
Let's watch the white clouds run
With the cool grass on our backs

[Bridge]
Disembodied gentry
Gathered by my door
Your electrical habits
Aren't welcome here anymore

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
That day I left
With a locket and glove
Keepsakes lest I forget
A woman by the name of

[Chorus]
Emily di*kinson
Won't you lay your hair down low?
Staring out the windowpane
There's so much more to know
Emily di*kinson
All buttoned down in Victoria black
Let's watch the white clouds run
With the cool grass on our backs
Emily di*kinson
Trade your lily for a rose
Run to the valley
Where the wild daisy grows
Emily di*kinson
Won't you lay your hair down low?
Staring out the windowpane
There's so much more to know
