about

BLACK BOOTS wasn't so much dredged up from the smoldering swamp as much as it leapt dancing outta the murky waters as a wistful romance with/for the She. The infectious pulse steers the band towards the dance floor, yet leaves that feint sweet sore spot in the back of the head, if you actually listen to the words. Grateful for the talent sharing in the work of Albuquerque artist Rachel Mills who created the cover (Instagram). Check Sister Black Lagoon out on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer & 150 other listening platforms. Follow us here on Bandcamp, share, & stay tuned for new original merch from the Oakland artist phenomenon David Polka, a dance remix, and live shows. Much Luv!

lyrics

BLACK BOOTS

She said it was complicated
she would never be mine,
then she come up through the bottom
with stories of gold mine,
still I sit here alone
where I thought she would be mine
all the bees up in the branches
just doing my sweet time,

She got black boots
She got black bra
She got black dress
She got black boots
She got black bra
She got black dress
I got black mess

I say
She the jewel in the lotus
She the dark spell of the She
She dance like a sinner
Then she flow like the sea
Open like a dirty secret
Just for me,
She one with design
She milk, she thistle
She roadside divine
She my honey and my gristle
Cause flesh is just to see
The need for theology,
I was born on the other side
Oh me, oh my…

Got a song in my head now
Got a radio that play dead now,
Got a child up in the hills
holdin’ out a light for me –

To come alive
under all this heat
under all this cold.
