Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] She got a rusted coffee can Full of red string River stones Keeps it under kitchen sink Right beside the chicken bones Black cat in the windowsill Watchin’ every car that slows She says “Boy The saints see everything More than any doctor knows” [Chorus] Mamère’s cure-all Spit and prayer Salt on the sill Smoke in the air Boil that root till the hurt runs scared She says “Turn your head and spit Don’t stare” (hey!) Old Cajun magic in a Folgers jar Patchin’ up hearts and broke-down cars If it don’t work She just shrugs and grins “Guess you got some deeper sins” [Verse 2] She tapes my fever dreamin’ notes To the backside of the door Burns ‘em in a jelly jar Lets the ashes hit the floor “Don’t you ever sweep ‘til dark You’ll chase the good luck out” Stirrin’ soup and talkin’ ghosts Like she’s never heard of doubt [Chorus] Mamère’s cure-all Spit and prayer Salt on the sill Smoke in the air Boil that root till the hurt runs scared She says “Turn your head and spit Don’t stare” (oh yeah) Old Cajun magic in a Folgers jar Patchin’ up hearts and broke-down cars If it don’t work She just shrugs and grins “Guess you got some deeper sins” [Bridge] [Drums drop to toms and floor kick Vocal half-whispered] She tied my nightmares to a nail Hammered it into a cypress rail Said “Dreams can drown or dreams can sail But you don’t let the doctors tell that tale” (hey!) [Chorus] Mamère’s cure-all Spit and prayer Salt on the sill Smoke in the air Boil that root till the hurt runs scared She says “Turn your head and spit Don’t stare” Old Cajun magic in a Folgers jar Patchin’ up hearts and broke-down scars If it don’t work She just laughs and sings “Some pain’s just part of bein’ human things”

rock, Raw 90s grunge rock; overdriven guitars in dropped tuning, loose kit with roomy, trashy cymbals. Verses stay half-mumbled and gritty, bass pushing a swampy groove; chorus explodes with shout-along hooks and doubled male vocals. Occasional bent-string lead licks snake around the vocal. Bridge strips to drums and bass before a final, louder chorus., cajun, grunge
