Lyrics The Possum - Sun Kil Moon
Yesterday,
I
was
working
in
my
yard
when
I
saw
a
possum
Swinging
in
the
foothills
and
he
was
all
beat
up
and
hobbling
I
got
a
closer
look
and
his
foot
was
mangled
I
was
woken
up
earlier
by
what
I
thought
was
the
cat
tangled
But
it
was
him
who
got
it
bad
from
the
cat
that
night
Slowly
down
the
hill
when
he
slipped
under
the
fence
I
brought
myself
up
to
check
him
out;
he
found
the
milk
under
the
air
conditioner
I
pointed
him
out
to
Caroline,
she
crouched
down
and
he
was
shaking
and
full
of
fear
And
when
she
stood
up,
I
asked,
"Baby,
why
you
crying?"
She
said,
"Because
he's
cute
and
he's
down
there
and
he's
dying"
I
went
up
to
my
room
and
I
got
a
call
from
Justin
He
was
in
San
Francisco
and
Godflesh
was
playing
Caroline
drove
me
halfway
there
where
I
met
Tony
And
we
drove
to
the
city
and
we
parked
out
in
front
of
the
DNA
Justin
and
us,
we
had
some
laughs
and
we
took
photographs
backstage
And
our
guts
were
protruding
and
all
of
them
and
we
just
kept
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
Laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
Laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
Laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
and
laughing
And
when
Godflesh
took
the
stage,
Tony
and
I,
we
stood
there
floored
Drum
machines
hammered
and
feedback
blazed
For
a
moment,
everybody
grew
silent
While
Justin
tuned
his
guitar;
like
a
church,
it
got
so
quiet
Just
for
a
minute,
and
then
they
all
soared
together
Like
a
car
off
a
cliff,
we
crashed
and
burned
over
and
over
and
again
and
again
They
threw
hard
vicious
guttural
B-flats
Justin
runs
to
the
mic
like
a
hungry
grey
white
He
was
on
fire,
giving
it
everything
he
had
and
killing
it
that
night!
Tearing
out
his
prey
and
it
came
to
a
screeching
halt
A
relentless
and
beautiful
voice,
a
70
minute
assault
And
then
he
bowed
down
and
he
set
his
seven
string
electric
guitar
down
And
screeched
to
holy
hell
and
they
disappeared
and
off
went
the
crowd
Then
we
had
pizza
and
I
came
back
to
my
apartment
in
the
city
Until
4AM,
I
watched
movies
and
my
ears
were
ringing
And
I
called
Caroline
out
at
the
house
We
talked
about
the
concert,
about
the
possum
down
in
the
nook
And
the
ocean
air
came
through
my
window
And
the
sound
of
foghorns,
and
then
when
I
woke
Godflesh
was
down
in
LA
Tony
had
an
open
house
that
day
And
I
looked
out
at
Sausalito
And
Caroline
was
on
her
way
back
from
Lake
Town
I
got
a
call
from
Paolo
Sorrentino
I'd
be
off
to
Switzerland
in
a
week
or
so
Caroline
came
home
that
night
and
we
had
dinner
and
watched
HBO
And
I'm
grateful
for
her
love
and
for
my
friends
And
to
have
seen
the
possum
walk
its
last
walk
along
the
island
I
want
to
grow
old
and
to
walk
my
last
walk
Knowing
that
I,
too,
gave
it
everything
I
got
But
again
it's
all
roadblocks
and
all
obstacles
I
fought
For
to
live
another
day
is
much
better
than
to
not
And
I'd
like
to
die
with
music
in
my
ears
The
piano
of
Maurice
Ravel
or
Godflesh's
guttural
growls
from
hell
The
sound
that
evokes
good
memories
of
being
young
and
able
to
get
around
And
I'd
like
Caroline
beside
me
That
old
possum
lost
the
fight
His
sad,
black
eyes;
what
a
thing
to
see
on
a
glowing
Easter
Sunday
But
that
rodent
was
loved
and
he's
still
thought
of
Church
bells
rang
that
day
I
remember
hearing
them
in
the
afternoon
just
as
we
left
He
had
to
have
heard
them
too
