you know the potion is real
you know the light is there
you drive all the way downtown
just to be alone
you fear your system is choking
but won't beware
desperate to find a body
that won't go stale
your stomach burns without desire
your incompleteness leaves a lot to be
riding the wave of a new melody
shot from your body through the big dark sea
avocados and grapefruits would do just fine
but tension building is hard work
so you need a cow
contradictions in balance
you're ready to jump
across the eastern borders and back to the west
you're out for stories you're out for blood
to love your selfishness is so insane
does anyone see you for what you are
you remember someone but she's run too far

APRICOTS TO ARMAGNAC is one of only a few Idaho songs without any percussion. The song is somewhat distant - the tone of the vocals, the words in their obscurity, the lonely guitar and the fingers sliding and scratching on the strings - all working together to create a beautiful density from only a guitar and a voice. And somehow when the guitar and voice rise, ending with the repeating of the title of the song, there is a moment of clarity and resolution.
