Pleasure is the Absence of Pain

from Let the Lead Fly by Wrinkle Neck Mules

/

lyrics

Feel the flex of the string, hear the doorbell ring See the letter he brings that told it was gone As the oldest of trees to fall in ’03 When Isabel’s breeze tore our roots from the ground Pleasure is the absence of pain Touch the first bitter chord, know the last sad word Hate the sound that you heard about the old tired tree Who lays in the dark with his corpse on his heart That was scraped in the bark to remain to remind us that Pleasure is the absence of pain Hold the last soft note, clear the burrs from your throat Love the pain that you wrote for the old tired tree Who was strong as he stood, heart, belly and blood Turned love into wood and wood into pain
