Secondliner

lyrics

Six parts water and half of a man
I was standing all night on the bus
You can leave me with a smoke and song in a brownfield
Where nobody ever bothers to look

I’ve been this less wicked and that less well
Always for somebody else.
What’s left, I keep to myself.

Stunned bee stung and West sun fed
I was only laughing to cover up
What was written on the top of your head
In that slanted script of lust
I’ve been laid back, skipping my weight in stones,
Trying to put a spin on the rest of what’s there.

Get your money roll out, make it bend
Forward from 2:00 and back to 10:00 'til the end.
But time can’t stop.
The phase, the cops, this capital feeling of doubt.

If the weather’s finer in Carolina
Will the landed rents say it’s on account of them?
You can count on it.
We’ve been blowing from the second line for so long
That we’re spent.
Take the money and rent.
That’s all I needed.

Looks good in a coonskin cap, but then you can't just wear one of those all the time without having to answer a lot of questions.
