The hummingbird feeds at the four o'clock flower Got a gun in my hand so I kill every hour Done with the dirt and all the days in the shower Just to get the stink off of me It was furious, it was sweet Scrubbed away 'til underneath I could feel the white hot heat White hot heat on a hot white sheet Like a shock, I smelled the blood Then I could not get enough All the frenzy out of love Would not suffer from the bottom, the landscapes came alive The humming bird whirs as I feast on the pink You can lead a horse to water, you can make him take a drink You think that you all know me, but it ain't quite what you think Here on Ballards Plantation But with a language outta reach With her faith, I did beseech 'Til my soul was all a-bleach Dry my eyes now as I stare into the sun And the world begins to fade With the choices we have made So commence a new charade Bright and shiny as a mirror, and the landscapes came alive The hummingbird feeds at the four o'clock flower Got a gun in my hand so I kill every hour Done with the dirt and all the days in the shower Never get the stink off of me Yeah, we whisper of the grass And the perfect weighted past And it's love for everlast Haul me over as I glide into the light 'Cause this final life of thrift See my mood begin to lift With a momentary shift No surprises on the radio, and the landscapes came alive
