Bolshevik and Bollweevil

The sky was black like caviar
Every little egg was a twinkling star
There we made a wish on
The shooting of a falling czar

Diamond drawers with a way to stagger
Fools the bullet and blunts the dagger
First we fall, then we crawl back
With a swagger

I got a letter today
I got a letter to say
I got a letter today
Come on home if you can find it
'Cause the farm is blown away

Bolshevik and boll weevil
Bags all packed for the great upheaval
Feather's for the good
And lead is good for the evil

Food for the dying, stolen from the dead
Laid out together across their dying bed
Eyes shut tight and so still now
They all sleep like they've been fed

I got a letter today
I got a letter to say
I got a letter today
Come on home if you can find it
'Cause the farm is blown away

Shake the dust off of your shoes
Static through the breaker
And dust blew the fuse
Every last goddamn thing
Will be the first thing you lose

I got a letter today
I got a letter to say
I got a letter today
Come on home if you can find it
'Cause the farm is blown away

Come on home if you can find it
'Cause the farm is blown away
