Drive Me Down to Shonkin Lyrics

I use you when I need you / and leave you when I'm done
I've never told you anything / but truth beneath this sun
I'm a prairie where love wanders / dying of terrible thirst
When the vultures find your carcass / babe I'll be the first
I wish I was the devil / I wish I was the Lord
The hunger of this twisted heart / best be left ignored

You drive me down to Shonkin / standing by the creek
You rub a bluebell's petals / on the stubble of my cheek
Your lips bleed when I kiss you / prairie dogs go
underground
Montana skies consume us / I resist that whispered sound

The stars obliterated / you leave me the night
I find myself by myself / stripped of love and all that's right
I wish I was a demon / with no knowledge of what's good
But every kiss you give me / is like nails through new wood

I love you and I hate you / I'll kill you with compassion
I spout desire's lust / as philosophy and fashion
I'm not worth a single glance / why do you still pursue me?
I never knew love was so strong / Oh God you've overcome me
