A noise blues song written about heartbreak, when you are trying to hold onto someone even while they’re hurting you. So you blame it on demonic possession. They must be possessed by some soulsucker that is now infecting your own brain, turning you into a jealous monster. The noises Joel plays on the trogotronic sound like aliens landing and taking over your town. Wails of electric grief.
lyrics
Honey
come in here
cry no tears
change your mind
give me time
Honey
I can never relax
ready to crack
got your knife in my back
i'm falling down
bleeding out
Honey
come in here
cry no tears
change your mind
give me time
Honey
I can never relax
ready to crack
got your knife in my back
i'm falling down
bleeding out
please please please leave
Goddamn motherfuckin soulsuckers in my town again
Goddamn motherfuckin soulsuckers on my street again
Goddamn motherfuckin soulsuckers in my house again
Goddamn motherfuckin soulsuckers in my brain again please please please

"i don't believe they lies. don't believe their truth, need they heads for proof" -- that's direct and powerful.
the violinist Saydah Ruz stands out here, i think. Jeremy Leaming
