Kelly Joe Phelps – Clementine Lyrics
Artist: Kelly Joe Phelps
Song: Clementine
She is inside there, behind the wall
Sexing a bottle of brandy … she will sex it all
Finger light like a lover should
Lips drawn tight as though she could
Suffer all those men with eyes that bleed
Inside their head
Who murder souls in every bed
She is asleep there up on the floor
Troubled by visions of strangers that stand in her door
Holding flags of another land
Language she can’t understand
All she wants for Christmas is another glass of wine
My little darling Clementine
She is awake in another day
Hoping that everyone has gone away
Sunlight screams at the curtain drawn
6 a.m. and the day looks long
Will she make it in a world that suffocates its fools
And leaves a word not of its rules
There she is stumbling beside the lane
Dress is in tatters as though she’s lost again
Worries not of the sideways eye
Muttering “You can all die”
“Please just let me climb the stairs and slip inside my room”
The darkness coming none too soon
She holds a letter tight in her hand
Above a candle sent from a man who promised
He would always live in the show of the greatest gift
From God above
Why did he then float away like embers from a fire
The letter burns and she retires
She is inside there behind the wall
Sexing a bottle of gin now, she will take it all
Easier is the money for giving in like an aging wh#re
Watching her own body turn into a lump of clay
Then fighting for someone to stay
