Song | Handcuffed To A Fence In Mississippi |
Artist | Jim White |
Album | No Such Place |
作词 : White | |
I'm handcuffed to a fence in | |
Mississippi. | |
My girlfriend blows a boozy good-bye kiss. | |
I see flying squirrels and nightmares of stigmata. | |
Then awakening to find my | |
Trans-Am gone. | |
Still, I'm feeling pretty good about the future. | |
Yeah, everything is peaches but the cream. | |
I'm handcuffed to a fence in | |
Mississippi, where things is always better than they seem. | |
Things is always better than they seem. | |
I see the guitar that my cousin played in prison, floating with the tv in the swimming pool. | |
I'm calling for the owner of the motel, then noticing the bloodstain on the door. | |
I'm reaching for the shoes under the bushes, just in time to hear the sirens sing. | |
I'm handcuffed to a fence in | |
Mississippi, where things is always better than they seem. | |
Things is always better than they seem. | |
You know freedom's just a stupid superstition, 'cause life's a highway that you travel blind. | |
It's true that having fun's a terminal addiction. | |
What good is happiness, when it's just a state of mind? | |
For in the prison of perpetual emotion, we're all shackled to the millstone of our dreams. | |
Me, I'm handcuffed to a fence in | |
Mississippi, where things is always better than they seem. | |
Things are always better than they seem. |
