What Are The Lyrics For Machete By BAMBARA?
There's a clearing behind her mothers house
The other side of Silver Creek We drink cheap cherry vodka there late at night Her dog Lobo at our feet Yeah, Crystal was younger than me, much tougher With a dark smile on her lips She looks so pretty, laughing in my puckered face When I pulled up her skirt a bit Lobo took off She said "You catch that hound of yours" So I ran through the trees Chasing sounds, deep into the darkness Then I fled, took Crystal to her room Turned off all the lights I close the curtains to a sick old moon Said "There's a strange man outside" He was out there swatting lightning bugs On his greasy face and body I could just make out two big pale eyes Staring through the streaks of glowing green His pig face grinning at me The smile fell away As she said That I was going crazy I've seen him too And I can't take it anymore I can't take it Every night I see him in the window Those big pale eyes I stole a machete Hacked up small animals for practice Even when I found Lobo tied in a knot No-one believed us Weeks later, I was patrolling the woods Red lights flashing through the branches I dropped the machete, ran to her house And saw two cops cars and an ambulance Lightning bugs blowing in the breeze And I fell to my knees It's been years now I moved to the city To get lost in the trash Like one of many fruit flies And I found my wife Claire So full of life, so wild With a smile beyond compare And our first child is kicking from inside her But sometimes I swear I look at her face and I see Crystal Hiding in there The way her lips pout when she's brushing her hair And I see her everywhere I try my best to lose her How I got lost in bars spilling in the streets Too drunk to dream Can't dream or sleep So to Crystal with her sheets And pretty knees Now it seems Like a violence is a mist Slowly creeping from the past And I can't help but feel he's coming back for me Just last week an old machete Was found lodged in some young cops gut Right on our street Where I could hear him suffering And I recall a possum still trying to run Though I cut his head clean off Same as me I thought Fleeing home when I knew damn well He'd never stop 'Cause I saw those eyes And tonight as I patrol the halls Checking all the windows I saw the green glow of a lightning bug Kissed Claire's sleeping lips And grabbed my gun Not gonna run |
