Letra Let Go, Be Dragged - Kevin Devine

Let Go, Be Dragged

Drop out of grad school and run here right now
We'll ruin our lives or we'll figure it out
Kneel at the bedside and spit in my mouth
I'm hungry

Present dissolves at impossible speed
No one's exempted and nor should we be
No dispensation, no real amnesty, no anchor

Just waiting for the way we feel to change again
Off with our heads, off with our heads, surrender, oh
I'm patient with the chainsaw angling at an end

Off with my head, off with my head, I'm begging
Let go, be dragged

Depth of discovery, rate of decay
No medal for wavering half-apostates
Ascetic fetishist preening away
So angry

arriving at diner last week
He beamed over coffee, peach through your cheeks
My brother was sober and finally free, a daydream

He's waiting for the way he feels to change again
Off with his head, off with his head, surrender, oh
I'm patient with the chainsaw angling at an end

Off with my head, off with my head, I'm begging
Let go, be dragged

So much sunlight
Papered over
All I'm afraid of
I already know

I'm waiting for the way I feel to change again
Off with our heads, off with our heads, surrender, oh
I'm patient with the chainsaw angling at an end

Off with my head, off with my head, I'm begging
Let go, or be dragged
