Strum
D-DU-UDU
No shadow no stars
There's no moon and no cars
November
it only believes
in a pile of dead leaves
and a moon that's the color of bone
(or )
No prayers for November to linger longer
stick your spoon in the w--all
we'll slaughter them a--ll
November has tied me to an old dead tree
get word to April to rescue me
November's cold chain made of wet boots and rain
and shiny black ravens on chimney smoke lanes
November seems o--dd
you're my firing sq--uad
November
With my hair slicked back
with carrion shellac
with the blood from a pheasant
and the bone from a hare
tied to the branches of a roebuck stag
left to wave in the timber like a buck shot flag
Go away you rainsnout
go away blow your brains out
November
