Chorus and the Ring lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey there now young wholly, swing along

Quote the scriptures, keep them guessing

Which pit you crawled from

Just defy it, just deny it

Was it fun?

Your time has come

What have you done?

What have you done?

[Chorus]

That's when the insults start to sting

You can't remember anything

The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus

The machine of God singing

[Verse 2]

It's the poison that in measures

Brings Illuminating vision

It's the knowing with a wink

That we expect in Southern women

It's the wolf that knows which root to dig to save itself

It's the octopus that crawled back to the sea

[Chorus]

That's when the insults start to sting

You can't remember anything

The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus

The machine of God ring

[Verse 3]

Hammered, shooting plywood in the backyard

Laughing 'cause the racket makes the blackbirds sing

Write the holy terror

Suck the marrow from the bones

Singe your own wings burning books

You got the chorus and the ring

[Chorus]

That's when the insults start to sting

You can't remember anything

The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus

The machine sings

[Chorus]

That's when the insults start to sting

You can't remember anything

The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus

The machine sings

That's when the calibration brittle

As a stick gets you the gold ring

And the tar museum Che Guevara wink

Gold ring

Gold ring

[Outro]

Sing

Sing

Sing

Sing
