Uncast Shadow of a Southern Myth - Parquet Courts[00:00:00]

Written by：Austin Brown/Andrew Savage[00:00:02]

I'd seen the bloodlands of antietam[00:00:25]

The shotgun shack in tupelo[00:00:31]

But a brick circumference left hollow by sherman[00:00:37]

Crumbling before me how it moaned[00:00:44]

His shape swallows my recollection[00:00:50]

That phantom silhouette implied[00:00:56]

Strange fruit rotting from an airborne and hotter than hell[00:01:03]

Is this the king's last man I've spied[00:01:09]

I stood there beside my companion[00:01:15]

Scratching a rumor he had heard[00:01:21]

Do you have a gun[00:01:28]

What he said yeah you mean this one[00:01:30]

Straight down the barrel was his word[00:01:34]

And I smelt the fumes he inhaled swiftly[00:01:41]

Each word was hinged upon his choke[00:01:47]

Like kudzu creeping up a state tree discretely[00:01:53]

Forever bending as it broke[00:02:00]

And I heard the jangling keys of graceland[00:02:06]

Ring from his teeth stained brown from coke[00:02:12]

Drunk and stumbling like a man of distinction[00:02:19]

They clamored shaking as he spoke[00:02:25]

Of droves of pilgrims at his doorway[00:02:31]

Of reagan carter clinton gore[00:02:38]

Fortunes offered them refused routinely[00:02:44]

This ain't no damn auction house he swore[00:02:50]

Black male standing around 6 foot something[00:02:56]

Ebbs through the waves of small town blight[00:03:03]

A minute coldly from southern affection[00:03:09]

Collides secretly into night[00:03:15]

Forgive those who trespass against us[00:03:22]

Began as the dead intruders plea[00:03:28]

Into the very muzzle I'd once peered into[00:03:34]

He gives the last words he will speak[00:03:40]

But that broken glass supports forced entry[00:03:47]

Reminds his lawyer through the phone[00:03:53]

What southern judge do you know comforting gently[00:03:59]

Who jails white men who defend their home[00:04:05]

No souls were present for the moment[00:04:12]

His bombed out brick walls finally fell[00:04:18]

Lying face down in the throes of atonement[00:04:25]

Checked out of the heartbreak hotel[00:04:31]

He was the uncast shadow of a southern myth[00:05:15]

He was the uncast shadow of a southern myth[00:05:27]

He was the uncast shadow of a southern myth[00:05:40]

He was the uncast shadow of a southern myth[00:05:52]

He was the uncast shadow of a southern myth[00:06:04]
