• The Giant of Illinois - (The Handsome Family cover), (Live at Millennium Park)

The giant of Illinois
died of a blister on his toe
after walking all day through the first winter's snow
Throwing bits of stale bread
to the last speckled doves,
and he never even felt
his shoes filled with blood
Delirious with pain, his bedroom walls
began to glow
and he felt himself floating up
through falling snow
And the sky was a woman's arms
A boy with a club foot
sat next to him in school
Once upon a summer's day
they were walking through the woods
They spotted a sleeping swan
on the banks of a muddy stream
and they stormed it with rocks
till it collapsed in the reeds
They lay out on the grass full of chocolate and lemonade,
and underneath it all the giant was afraid and the sky was a woman's arms
