Witches of the Northern Shore

from The Nickle Ride by Bill White

/

lyrics

I made love to the Mother of the Air
While I was sleeping, she tried to cut my hair
Now Im falling into knives in the grass Now Im running from guns in the trees
Into the desiccated arms of the witches on the the Northern seas

Some things never change in Salem
The witches still fly like kites across the sky
I should have caught the meat wagon to Boston
Because no more trains are pulling out of here tonight

Venus in Sodom Penis Uprising
I was swallowed in the earth when I thought I was rising
She led me through a secret door
Now I am under the curse of the witches of the Northern shore

Some things never change in Harlem
There will be fire next time as there was fire before
You can take the sky ride up Kisco Mountain
But you can never escape the witches of the Northern shore

Three billion blind mice See how they run
to the top of the world and down the other side
Caught in a cauldron of four and twenty runes
She mashes up their heads with a wooden spoon

Some things never change in the canyon
Eat the rich or be eaten by the poor
Take the meat wagon to Bakersfield
Or spend another Black Sabbath with the witches of the Northern shore
Venus in Sodom Penis Uprising
I was swallowed in the earth when I thought I was rising
She led me through a secret door
Now I am under the curse of the witches of the Northern shore

I made love to the Mother of the Air
While I was sleeping, she tried to cut my hair
Now Im falling into knives in the grass Now Im running from guns in the trees
Into the desiccated arms of the witches on the shores of the Northern seas
