Richie Kindler - Corn Man / Simple April 29, 2014 Lyrics

Cornman
Shaking his silk on the driving rain
Cornman
Down on the dirt til green comes the grain
Down in the dirt I can feel your pain

In your flesh the body of Osiris
Life and death circle like an iris
Long before the serpent was Satan
Man and nature began separating

Cornman
Shaking his silk on the driving rain
Cornman
Down on the dirt til green comes the grain
Down in the dirt I can feel your pain

The color of the sun is in your meat
Bringing to the earth the celestial heat
Bury his head in the warm red sod
He is animal plant man and god

Cornman
Shaking his silk on the driving rain
Cornman
Down on the dirt til green comes the grain
Down in the dirt I can feel your pain

The death of the father
Is the birth of the son
In the love of the mother they all become one
Set in the soil and summoned from death
The new earth is breathing its birthing breath

Cornman
Shaking his silk on the driving rain
Cornman
Down on the dirt til green comes the grain
Down in the dirt I can feel your pain

Simple
I wanna lay is down simple
Old quilts and my brown piano
Deep beneath patchwork and layered sweaters

And if it was hovering like my corduroy alien about your texture won't you wrap it round?

At least I want a beaten carpet selling nothing but its character and the price really only being a warm smile

And thin fires cast the only light on wood mostly like the smell of the earth and green plants

Your unpainted nails through my ragged hair like a bath towel before I'm Einstein each morning surprised from the scrubbing

Good shoes and old jeans where's heaven a worn fretboard there across this little ditch is a bridge

I wanna lay is down simple
Old quilts and my brown piano
Deep beneath patchwork and layered sweaters
