Jim from the Moon – Thanksgiving Day Lyrics

I woke up with a hole in my head
filled with the feeling I was better-off dead
you rolled over and said, it’s Thanksgiving Day

I made the couch, but I missed the parade
cause it’s back home and we’re so far away
you fell asleep, and I watched a show about war

I would like to find a girl who mends my bones and gently licks my wounds

money drips through my cupped hands
I need a job, but no job needs me
or my junky-looking hair

and it seems to me there is no love
not unless it’s hiding in a darker place
I really shouldn’t go

I would like to find a girl who mends my bones and gently licks my wounds
a pretty girl who makes me laugh, picks me up and holds me like a womb

oh, you gotta let me open the shades
cause I just need a bit of true light
absence and a bit of true light

my throat is raw, I smoke too much cause I’m out of touch
but oh, anyway
my days are filled, busy finding God or busy rotting away
we shall see

oh, you gotta let me open the shades
cause I just need a bit of true light
absence and a bit of true light
absence in a bit

and if you’re done then let me go…
