Jeff Buckley - Faith Salons lyrics

(brenda kahn/jeff buckley)

From the 1994 brenda kahn promotional ep king of cairo and the 1996 brenda kahn album destination anywhere.

In the faith salons they do your nails for fifteen dimes a bottlewhere

Someone in the darkness waits for your arrival. in the faith salons the

Deals are struckmaking heroes out of dust and clay. the man gives you

Sixty seconds on the dollarand walks away. in the middle of your book

Of ages you write your dreams down to the letter. tired of second

Chances and singles dances. her robes were purple velvet feeling like

The king of cairo. prisoners to fools and slaves to paper gods. in the

Faith salons....the books of massacres and natural disastersbeguiled by

Belligerence learned from the dancing masters. the child on the train

Was a mimic mime of babble. the mother knitted sweaters that the child

Would unravel. in the faith salons....they have medicines for madness

Madness caused by drugssomething for your headache and a spray to kill

The bugs. you walk the catwalk of polyphonyand your charades of

Destiny. to whose myth of creation will you finally fall upon your knees

And cry for forgiveness denied. in the faith salons....she'd appear like

A belligerrent ghost in my dreamsin my living roomall torn apart and

Bluewhere the ribbons flew and the sky tore like a sheet of rainof

Dust. peace is a distant mirage where the only truth is the path and

Chance the only landmark in the desert. sleeping in doorways.

Underneath the falling frescoesshe'd sayit's your pain. in the faith

Salons....
