lyrics

DEAD MAN IN THE IVY

Enough powder to fill the keg
Serpent tail down her leg
Pockets filled with stone
But the River’s dry as bone

Sister Mary Francis
Gave her many chances
She locked her in the cellar
Until she came out to tell her

About a dead man in the Ivy

Clear of eye pink of tongue
Bastard boy of the baron’s son
Misbegotten aristocrat
Had his tour of hell and back

Objections and contradictions
Monsignor cast prediction
He says that somethings going down

About a dead man in the ivy

There are secrets on the avenue
Blinds are shut by the strike of noon
The cheer has turned to whispers
All that bloomed now withers

From father to every mother
From son to every daughter
They want to know what’s going down

About a dead man in the ivy

Kevin Breit Toronto, Ontario

Kevin Breit is writing about himself as you read this. What is going through his head? Scary third person ramblings. This site contains my solo recordings mostly and some are joint projects. I had my eyes closed and opened while my head was down and up. This is the universal thread through my career. ... more
