lyrics

I feel the morning breaking open
don’t let me down
over the chorus of the clover
don’t pick me out
love me like I do
brothers sisters always
and when the rabbits come it’s bedlam
don’t let them out
although I wanted
you to tongue me like the Eucharist
and taste sounds
let the beast in
a blessing that devours all my best
and bleeds
they’re right, I’m cored
empty and void
effeminately playing
it falls out my head
practically impossible
a bovine, a bell
what’s barely legal is still legal
rain and a stick
it’s practically invisible
the voice, the hands
I ditch the rest
come away come up come on
love me like I do
brothers sisters always

about

Rainstick Cowbell Portland, Oregon

“Rainstick Cowbell makes searing music that’s intensely personal…[from] intense, clear-eyed rants to unhinged exorcisms. It’s exhilarating to hear music this raw.”
—Portland Mercury
