Song information
Trying to infuse some orchestral ingredients in my folk-roots kitchen. I'm aware of my limitations in this field, but it almost feels like christmas, using mellotron, strings and brass... And I guess, in a certain light, you can call this a love song ... Written by Nick Urata and his fantastic band Devotchka, from Denver, CO. All instruments, vocals, mix and mastering are Dyl made...

Lyrics
(Nick Urata / Devotchka)

Well, this is one place where your gods can't dwell
It's like walking in to the mouth of hell
Sweating our dignities out on the subway
At the beginning of another long, long day
As for my mortal remains, I couldn't care
Cause when the day is done, she'll be waiting here
That's when I love the accommodations
Here in a urine smelling transit station

I'll move these rocks for you my love
I will tear them up out of the earth
And I will bend my spine
Till it's quitting time
Cause I know what your time is worth

And I'll give my days to the Neanderthals
With the classic rock and the wrecking ball
I'll go swimming in the wet concrete
And I'll cast my pearls at the unpaved streets
I don't mind the mental atrophy
Cause when the lids come down, you're all I see
You're like a lovely hallucination
You get me through my current occupation

I'll move these rocks for you my love
I will tear them up out of the earth
And I will bend my spine
Till it's quitting time
Cause I know what your time is worth

See I'm towering above mortal men
I'll emerge from the darkness and there you stand
You're the queen of all the surface streets
I'm a wiener boy, that you're here to meet
I don't need the money, I couldn't care
Cause everything I want is standing right here
I would live on the street in a cardboard shack
Just to worship your feet and the curve of your back
You'll be my only preoccupation
On our permanent vacation

Now I will move the rocks for you my love
I will tear them up out of the earth
And I will bend my spine
Till it's quitting time
Cause I know what your love is worth

What your love is worth
What your love is worth
