I tell tales, tall as cliffs, you've got a lisp |
|
Kid, those things are hard to miss like my cripple cough |
|
All your weekends lost by the lake |
|
Where you said I needed be afraid |
|
|
|
Of all those devils on the wall |
|
That make a fella small |
|
When he's feelin' brave |
|
They take his wine away |
|
|
|
There were posters on the wall |
|
I swear my mother saw |
|
That I'd been up all night |
|
Up all night |
|
|
|
And you came well equipped |
|
With a gun on your hip and some poison on your lips |
|
But when we wake up in our make up |
|
We'll be clean, we won't have nowhere to be |
|
|
|
Oh, but I can't talk to you the way I've wanted to |
|
I've been tellin' lies but I'll tell you the truth |
|
Oh, I can't talk to you the way I've wanted to |
|
I've been tellin' lies but I'll tell you the truth |
|
|
|
Darling, I'm tired and I should be leaving, leaving |
|
You know I'm tired and I should be leaving, leaving tonight |
|
|
|
Darling, I'm tired and I should be leaving, leaving |
|
You know I'm tired and I should be leaving |
|
|
|
And you'll hang like the rest |
|
We'll leave a noose on the attorney's desk |
|
And take to the streets, chant like an army |
|
And doctor up this disease |
