hell is near

St. Vincent

Empty cup and a can full of marigolds
Half-burned candle, a picture pinned on the wall
Letters, records, and ash on linoleum
Signs of life, the beginning, the beginning
Our beginning, begin again

I was bare
And your word was still warm in my hand
I was bare
Wanted all under Heaven allowed

Snubbed-out smoke in a pack from the Nowhere Inn
Water glass with the smudge of a lipstick stain
Box of nails, olive branch, and the holy ghost
Leave the rest, but come back for the marigolds
The beginning, the b?ginning, the beginning, still ahead

I was bar?
And your word was still warm in my hand
I was bare
Wanted all under Heaven allowed

Give it all away, you give it all away
Cause the whole world s watching you
Give it all away, you give it all away
Cause the whole world s watching you

Give it all away, you give it all away
Cause the whole world s watching you
Give it all away, you give it all away
Cause the whole world s watching you
