He broke like belts of gold
Melted down to be resold
He bit the frog out of my neck
And then gave my voice away
We burned down the house that night
Saul, Saul
I held you until the sky grew light
Saul, Saul
You ran off when the sirens came
Saul, Saul
Left me screaming out your name
Saul, Saul
The fire caught beneath his feet
Into the distance heard them beat
Sparks were biting at my chest
Lit up scarlet with the hay
The starlings came up to my door
Saul, Saul
To bring the bones I knew no more
Saul, Saul
I put the roof back on myself
Saul, Saul
Put your bones up on a shelf
Saul, Saul
