Hand Enfleshed is the third single from Dear Other's forthcoming second LP, "The Wizard Clip, or, Sixteen canticles concerning the true story of a haunted house in Old Virginia, exorcised to the glory of God circa 1794, with fictive ornament and apocrypha included for pleasing effect."

lyrics

I never would have thought I'd fall in love with a married man.
I guess my heart's just bigger than the width of his wedding band.
I know it's banned by the sixth command,
but ooh ooh,
working for Sarah, could you never notice Abraham?

We were working the land
out in Pennsylvania
when the cow got sick, the barn burned down,
we moved to Virginia.

And they said it was because of me,
not in so many words but behind their teeth,
with little sucking sounds
that sound a lot like snapping scissors.

So when they started blaming demons I know I breathed a sigh of relief.
Nothing so ghostly about a woman of the flesh like me,
so I'm off scot-free, I'm a chickadee,
but ooh, ooh,
now that Adam's got a ghost
he's ghosted any notion of Eve.

So I'm taking money
from the chest in the bedroom
where they made six kids.
What else can a girl do?

Love has made me sick in the head
Love's the only devil in the Livingston homestead
The only wonder here is why
the cloth above my breast
shows no sign of singing at the fringing
from the fire that's within me.
