somebody's gonna get hurt / I hope it's not me / but I suspect it's going to have to be

I saw the future in a dream last night
Somebody's gonna get hurt, somebody's gonna get hurt
I hope it's not me
But I suspect it's going to have to be

i dug my heels in for the winter
and i waited for the snow
but something was stuck up in the clouds
something was stuck up there
it couldn’t let go

Black Pear Tree is by itself a very sad song, but the effect throughout the song that sounds like a large alien creature trying and failing to communicate takes it from sad to soul-destroyingly tragic somehow.

i dug a hole and filled it up with compost
rested on the cool grass for a minute
i saw the future in a dream last night
there’s nothing in it
i set the sapling in the hole
started gently tamping down the dirt
i saw the future in a dream last night
somebody’s gonna get hurt, somebody’s gonna get hurt
i hope it’s not me
but i suspect it’s going to have to be
i dug my heels in for the winter
and i waited for the snow
but something was stuck up in the clouds
something was stuck up there
it couldn’t let go
and when its time came i could see it happen
blossoms black and sweet as texas crude
i saw the future flowering like a ruptured vessel
somebody’s gonna get screwed
it won’t be me
someday i am going to walk out of here free

TV upstairs
Leave it on all night
Do what I have to do
Add, subtract, and divide by two, but my
Eyes light up
At cops and robbers time
I hope the bad guys win
I hope the good guys get their skulls bashed in
