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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:56] That phantom silhouette implied

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:15] Collides secretly into night

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[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] He was the uncast shadow of a southern myth
