	And the brimming sun spills... Two drops of gold on your folded eyelids And you taste my teeth as I steady your chin And the moon draws light from your indigo skin But I don't know where you start and Heaven begins And I will carry your bundle of burdens on my back And keep the brazier buckle latched on the bosom that you lack But the other lapse I'll look right at You are gonna nurse me when I'm drunk And paint me when I'm blank Teach me when I'm dumb You don't gotta ---- me in the rain Just feed me sugar in my pain Because I believe in a different Jesus But there ain't no god who believes in us And I read a different Bhagavad Gita But there ain't no tome tellin' the story of us And I breathe a different Brahman But there ain't no ocean big enough to drown and swallow us And I see a different Shiva But we only need four arms We only need for arms And the truth of the beauty's not the good And the beauty of the truth is not the good And we are two goodnesses And the good is good is good

about

This is a B-Side that didn't make it onto our upcoming self-titled EP (out 8/14/14). This is a song that Mikey has been working on for the past year. He has experimented with new musical and lyrical styles, and the result is a song unlike that which The Sandy Pilgrims have ever made.
