2 Spades by Knife In The Water Lyrics
Well I went across the county with a couple of spades
We were counting all the troubles that we could
We were pulling out the money for gasoline [?] out where gasoline won't do us any good
Looking for a party east of some little lake
Out where the rivers come together like a two-headed snake
It's a secret little party only the spades know where its at
And I said that I would drive if they would navigate
Well we drove all night there only to [?]
[?]
To end up counting the vertebrae on the broken back
Of a cotton mouth
Coming from the city we were missing the lights
Out where the stars are little pinholes in the blanket of night
We had a kerosene lamp we had a Japanese car
And we were walking through the woods so we were well out of sight
This party we were supposed to find
We couldn't see a soul anywhere
Lost on Highway 79 so we doubled back
'cause there was nobody there
Well we're looking for some trouble with a couple of spades
I fought some people that I'd never even met
Well now the spades are going swimming and my head is still spinning like the chamber in a final pull of Russian roulette
Well the lights ignite the dust that we are leaving behind
Just like my brother told me once before he lost his mind
He said, "Now brother don't go searching for fun you know you'll never find
When you try to find out where it's at you'll dislocate your head
Well you can find your way by the light of the stars you can see the light
But the stars are long since dead"
We were counting all the troubles that we could
We were pulling out the money for gasoline [?] out where gasoline won't do us any good
Looking for a party east of some little lake
Out where the rivers come together like a two-headed snake
It's a secret little party only the spades know where its at
And I said that I would drive if they would navigate
Well we drove all night there only to [?]
[?]
To end up counting the vertebrae on the broken back
Of a cotton mouth
Coming from the city we were missing the lights
Out where the stars are little pinholes in the blanket of night
We had a kerosene lamp we had a Japanese car
And we were walking through the woods so we were well out of sight
This party we were supposed to find
We couldn't see a soul anywhere
Lost on Highway 79 so we doubled back
'cause there was nobody there
Well we're looking for some trouble with a couple of spades
I fought some people that I'd never even met
Well now the spades are going swimming and my head is still spinning like the chamber in a final pull of Russian roulette
Well the lights ignite the dust that we are leaving behind
Just like my brother told me once before he lost his mind
He said, "Now brother don't go searching for fun you know you'll never find
When you try to find out where it's at you'll dislocate your head
Well you can find your way by the light of the stars you can see the light
But the stars are long since dead"
