Take It Home Songtext

von Thin White Rope

I love your name, it's like a bad bad flame
It is a burning thing and it's a goddamn shame
We couldn't follow this one home

I kiss the flies from your antelope eyes
In the dusty fields under yellow skies
But I can't take this one home
I can't take this one home
I can't take this one home

Something moving in an airtight room
Doesn't age a minute for a year in a vacuum
But it dies on the way home

A lean hot love is sustained by drought
In the bright dry fields where they burn the wind out
Fire from my damp and sunlit home
I can't take this one home
I can't take this one home
I can't take this one home
