Belinda & Sarah In Tongues

from Garden Ruin by Garden Ruin

lyrics

A television comes hooded
and sits in a corner of the room
A radio stays silent
A cassette plays old songs on a loop
Two girls in long dresses
Play songs on guitar - three chords
Past the pine plantation
Is a farm
Where their lives are moored

Belinda and Sarah in tongues
Belinda and Sarah in tongues

The television gets, removes its hood
And cries, cries "STATIC"
The radio gets up
And smothers the cassette in electromagnetic death
Two girls in long dresses
Walk the dirt road with reservation
Planes fly above dropping leaflets
Disclosing information

Belinda and Sarah in tongues
Belinda and Sarah in tongues

Encounters with faith
Will wreck down your heaving heathen heart
A great swinging blade comes down
And tears the intruder apart
No thoughts of escape
Just consolation of some peace in their time
My melody carries, but doesn't dare cross
Their secular line
