lyrics

Take out your grandmother’s China
Bring the old Waterford Crystal Down
Bring out your three piece, prepare us a feast
A visitor’s coming to town
He knows everyone in your family
They’ve been acquainted for years
He’s never invited, you can’t close the door
He’s got all of the clout around here
He’s out on the prowl for some violence
Looking to cause some pain
So bring out what kills, your liquor and pills
This room needs to be arranged
Bring out your finest champagne
Nothing to lose or to contain
He’s not a friend, but he’s here until the end
And to teach you forgiveness through pain
He’s never wanted for anything
Whatever he needs he takes
He lives on the love you’ve been burying deep
And then left by the garden gates
So take out all of your money
Call your mother to tell her goodbye
Ask the priest for absolution
Call the police to report a crime
You couldn’t blame your caller for trying
And judgement just wouldn’t be fair
When it comes to your passenger, what could you ask of him
It always costs too much to care
Bring out your finest champagne
Nothing to lose or to contain
He’s not a friend, but he’s here until the end
And to teach you forgiveness through pain
His prophecies all speak about you
From his dark bench in the yard
The leaves all fall around him, and he passes without a word
He’s a collector of all that you’ve lost
All the things you’ve left behind
All of the things that you thought that you’d see
But instead they just rendered you blind
Bring out your finest champagne
Nothing to lose or to contain
He’s not a friend, but he’s here until the end
And to teach you forgiveness through pain

The Yawpers Boulder, Colorado

The Yawpers formed 2011 when guitarist Jesse Parmet and singer/guitarist Nate Cook played together at the only speakeasy in Boulder, CO. In August 2018, the band announced that Alex Koshak would be stepping in on drums as they headed into the studio to record their next album. The band’s name is a nod to Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass”: “I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world. ... more
