Lyrics

Insectine (or Love Karamazov Style) - written by John Guliak

I helped you keep your garden free
I killed the weeds for a hill of beans
I tried to slow the progress of
bone pestle against stone bowl
I’ll tend the graves where your father lays
Where the homestead and all my memories fade
I’ll reap the meagre faith
You’ve sown with your silence

There’s no place for me in that history
If you can’t tell the tale it might never have happened at all

Let me stone pope Joan for you
Lay the miracle bare for all to view
Change the sacred way into the shunned street
The only thing that I can do
Is drive carefully and try to comfort you
Brave the pro-life signs and the blame in the nurse’s eyes

There’s no place for me in that history
If you can’t tell the tale it might never have happened at all

I’ve tried to rise above my blood
To ride the storm and win your love
I’ve held your children close despite my distance
All the 5 year plans have come and gone
They’ve paid their way in tears and song
And all that’s left behind is the sound of scurrying
