A harmony-fueled murder ballad recorded in a Montana cabin on Halloween 2019.
lyrics
Down where the potholes fill up with rain
And the waterlogged houses sit there to drain
There's a girl who swept me right off my feet
And her name was sweet Celestine
Huuhoooh, huuhoooh, sweet Celestine
Huuhoooh, huuhoooh, a beauty unseen
With quip after quip, surreal and swift
Lured to a room that was dim candlelit
She showed me her bed and a tattooed sleeve
Ohhhh sweet Celestine
Huuhoooh, huuhoooh, sweet Celestine
Huuhoooh, huuhoooh, a beauty unseen
My heart skips a beat with a pound at the door
And in walks a man I've not seen before
Blood in his eyes, a badge on his chest
And armed all the while
Release me now from this curious fiction
The bang and the flash are my benediction
Another man freed of the rapt custody
Of sweet Celestine
