letra de drowning mr. & mrs. palmer - the restoration (us)

narrator: thomas vale

when mom lost the house
that’s when i decided to k!ll you
the bank finished what you started
twenty-one years ago
my father built your house
and you ruined him like garbage
i was just a boy then
you looked straight through me at the time;
but hear me now:
i am thomas vale!
my father’s quadroon boy
my mother’s monster son
and i am gonna wash you off this earth
with all the evil things you’ve done in the name of jesus
you shook his hand and bankrupt him;
his heart put him in the ground
and i’ve wasted years while you’ve silvered and wrinkled
but now i am bringing you down

i’m gonna k!ll you—
i’m gonna flood you—
mr. and mrs. palmer
i’m gonna k!ll you

there’s a levee up the hill behind your house
that holds the river back
i’m gonna blow it to h-ll
and the water’s gonna take this valley back
you’re both asleep in your heirloom bed
“the only thing the union didn’t burn.”
i’m gonna tie you down so you can’t slide away
and this river’s gonna feed you to the worms

i’m gonna k!ll you—
i’m gonna flood you—
mr. and mrs. palmer
i’m gonna k!ll you
i’m gonna flood you—
i’m gonna drown you—
mr. and mrs. palmer
i’m gonna flood you

liquor-sweat, the musk of old-man-flesh and perfume drift around the room
snores that shake two lazy chins and flabby jaws that two fat necks consume
jesus watches me from your crucifix as i tie you down and slip out the window;
the cricket-buzz grows to a frenzy as i bring the levee down
and here comes the flood—
here comes the wave—
here comes the wall of water—
to wash you away
and there goes the house:
the last thing my father ever made
you always said, “live like christ did,”
now you’re gonna die, so i can live!

i’m gonna k!ll you—
i’m gonna flood you—
mr. and mrs. palmer
i’m gonna k!ll you
i’m gonna flood you—
i’m gonna drown you—
mr. and mrs. palmer
i’m gonna k!ll you
