Letra Bethlehem Will Butler

Bethlehem

Our past is in a graveyard
Makin' stew out of the bones
And a neighbor's gonna call the cops again
Although it's better left alone
In the sky, the birds are circlin'
If I ask them to, will they
Lead me'to?my?grave?

How does itàfeel
To know the'torch is in your hand'
This fake skin
Oh, it could make you sick
Make you understand
That the only word is fire
And the only song is the
Singing of the flame

[PreChorus]
And if there's some revelation
It isn't in my hand
Oh, if there's some celebration
I haven't heard the plan

[Chorus]
Oh, la la la la la la la la
Let me lose my head
Let me close my eyes in the ashes of love
And in the light I'll join the dead
'Cause the best have no position
And the worst are full of
Passionate belief
[?]

[Verse 2]
Under my head
You know the dream is lyin' dead
Under my heart
Oh where the breath begins, it begins again
If you ask for me tomorrow
I'll be in the sky, I'll be
Blowin' in the wind

[PreChorus]
And if there's some revelation
It isn't in my hand
Oh, if there's some celebration
I haven't heard the plan

[Chorus]
Oh, la la la la la la la la
Let me lose my head
Let me close my eyes in the ashes of love
And in the light I'll join the dead
'Cause the best have no position
And the worst are full of
Passionate belief
[?]

[Bridge]
[?]
(But it wasn't like he said)
(The sun was down, the birds were gone)
[?]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Oh, la la la la la la la la
Let me lose my head
Let me close my eyes in the ashes of love
And in the light I'll join the dead
'Cause the best have no position
And the worst are full of
Passionate belief
