Come Hell Or High Water |
And me? |
I got a bug to squash |
This tale’s been told a thousand times |
So I think that I should’ve known better |
Than to supplicate a girl on pedestal shoes |
No pants and a real tight sweater |
I’m laughin' too but it’s from |
My embarrassment that I tremble |
When she saw that I was just |
A hopeless imitation of the man that I most resemble |
And the chords ring so familiar |
To a man who’s heard it all before |
And the melody will forever linger |
Like perfume in a hardware store |
It ain’t that I seek loneliness |
I just downright fail to understand |
How a customary girl on pedestal shoes |
Can all but destroy one man |
I wished I’d licked her to the ground |
But I swallowed my tongue instead |
Watched her from the shadows with a hideous frozen grin |
While she carved her name in my head |
And some folks talk around the way |
Sayin' «B you’ve really got it made» |
But I crawl round my room from night 'til day |
Wondering if your star will ever fade |
And I’ll be here come hell or high water |
(Love you like you were my daughter |
Buy you new shoes cos I oughta) |
And only sometimes will my thoughts turn blue |
Like the skies and every word is you |
Now west of bloody sixteenth street |
Are the remains of a man who was broken |
By the rapture of a girl on pedestal shoes |
And man I tell you that girl wasn’t jokin' |
I’ve killed my mind a thousand times |
Now my thoughts stay firmly in the present |
But there’s a kinda ugly breach like an ocean in my soul |
Keeps on naggin' me so incessant |
And the silence is louder than a H bomb |
That explodes when I close my eyes |
Sending shock waves to the town you’re from |
In the hope that you’ll stir and come alive |
And I’ll be here come hell or high water |
(Love you like you were my daughter |
Buy you new shoes cos I oughta) |
And only sometimes will my thoughts turn blue |
Like the skies and every word is you |
Like the skies and every word is you |
Like the skies and every word is you |
Like the skies and every word is you |
