[Verse 1] Copperhead oracle In a thrift-store plastic crown Ash on her bathrobe Burns tiny halos down Static on the TV Muted game show laugh Bible on the counter Folded like a photograph She’s smoking Marlboros in a plastic crown Waiting for the gods to burn this trailer down Says “Baby You don’t leave here You just circle this town” She taps ash like a blessing On the busted ground [Chorus] Light me up I’m your warning sign Bare feet hanging off the power line If the sky’s gonna split Let it split right now I was born for the flood Not the turnaround I’m the copperhead oracle Laying it out I’m smoking Marlboros in a plastic crown Waiting for the gods to burn this trailer down [Verse 2] Tarot in a bread pan Grease on every card Death is just a layoff Justice deals you hard She laughs “I seen rapture In a rearview mirror’s shake It looked like overdue rent And a belly full of ache” She’s counting on a thunderbolt To cut the power clean Says “Heaven’s just a laundromat With softer magazines” (oh) She draws your future On a paper plate Ketchup cross bleeding Into yesterday [Chorus] Light me up I’m your warning sign Bare feet hanging off the power line If the sky’s gonna split Let it split right now I was born for the flood Not the turnaround I’m the copperhead oracle Laying it out I’m smoking Marlboros in a plastic crown Waiting for the gods to burn this trailer down [Bridge] [Low organ swell Drums fall to toms] If the angels come in repo trucks She’ll trade them every sin for fifty bucks Says “Set it all on fire or let it rot Just don’t leave me here halfway to forgot” (yeah) [Chorus] Light me up I’m your warning sign Bare feet hanging off the power line If the sky’s gonna split Let it split right now I was born for the flood Not the turnaround I’m the copperhead oracle Laying it out I’m smoking Marlboros in a plastic crown Waiting for the gods Yeah I’m waiting for the gods To burn this trailer down
