James by Pearl and the Beard Lyrics
Torn from the page of a book on my lap
Red eyes write words on a monument
Goal to reach you on an elephant's back
Path undetermined
Loose, like a tyrant
Fly to the mount where I call you James
Hold a cold compress and elevate
Obelisk who holds the heel in its boot
Will not be shaken
Loose, like a tyrant
James, release me
James, release me
James, release me
Release me, James
He, like the wind who will carry me off
Into my breasts he will press his weight
Lingers his breath as I suffocate
Loose, like a tyrant
James, release me
James, release me
James, release me
Release me, James
James, he meets her by the tree
They press the weeds like a fever
Marry each other in hell by their god
Loose
James, release me (x13)
Release me
Release me
Release me, James
Red eyes write words on a monument
Goal to reach you on an elephant's back
Path undetermined
Loose, like a tyrant
Fly to the mount where I call you James
Hold a cold compress and elevate
Obelisk who holds the heel in its boot
Will not be shaken
Loose, like a tyrant
James, release me
James, release me
James, release me
Release me, James
He, like the wind who will carry me off
Into my breasts he will press his weight
Lingers his breath as I suffocate
Loose, like a tyrant
James, release me
James, release me
James, release me
Release me, James
James, he meets her by the tree
They press the weeds like a fever
Marry each other in hell by their god
Loose
James, release me (x13)
Release me
Release me
Release me, James
