lyrics

all my life seems I stumbled round the funny gold
slur’n to the guard, “ya gotta get me in yr friend”
while an old dead hand motioned to me from a junky throne
n the sandstone sang, “we’re gonna get you in the end”

any damn day it just crawls thru yr window
yr fast asleep cuz you were slow as a kid so
it takes a bit to get a grip on its mo
which is humpin yr leg til yr nothin but a pillow
n that’s when you wake like the spark in a widow
but it’s way too late cuz yr mind’s his mic, it go
“you thought what you don’t know can hurt you
so now what hurts you’s all you know”

far’s I feel I made love with everyone I met
but my friends still gripe I’m a color that won’t blend
n it’s maybe cuz I’m too fixed on an idle threat
from the dark house coo’n, “I’m a get you in the end”

faces pass by sellin smiles that keep you
from bookin a room at the hotel adieu
but when everybody turnt nobody a turn-to
if all yr lookin for’s the turn-off; would you
have come to life if you’d seen the preview
n realized yr gonna drown in yr canoe
‘fore you get it thru the rain
one long haul from that beautiful outta-here bayou?

O for sure it’s a bangin party
banged my head on a girl named risky
got to hear lord sir mccartney
do coming up after eleanor rigby
raced round town like a low tech taxi
found a couple a grown-up kids in my whiskey
pretty much just said “why ask me?”
best time was when that one guy
bust into the store n threw hot marshmallows
at us and we come out lookin like
a psa on the dangers of excessive hickies

once it come
you ain’t shake it for all yr worth
cuz all yr worth is all you can’t defend

like yr close as quail
stompin hard on the honest earth
for a little twine that’s a whole lot less on trend

yeah you twist and shout
but yr revolution’s run
and we’re walkin out cuz yr outta tune, my friend

so yr all alone
cept yr not, shit, he’s on yr gun
whisprin low and mean, “got you in the end”

where ya think yr goin with that fast refresh?
you the rabble in the castle, you the sad address
think the hot that is can’t touch the cool that wuz?
scuze me while i piss your dust
yeah you can call me shitkicker with a chance of dirt
but when the dirt get kickt you the shit I learnt
