Lyrics Register Side - Buffalo Tom

Register Side

Well, I compare you two
You’ve got the same toothy grin
And a penchant for dramatic ends
See the harbor lights
His five brothers down there
From the salty bay back home again
He went from one ball and chain
His whole life down the drain
With a widow in his wake
When he got back home
He took the first job he found
How much can one man take?
And he measured his breath
As he pocketed his pride
And he quietly watched life go by
From the register side
Well, he drove down to the shore
But he can’t see her no more
He bought a bottle of red wine
He wasn’t guilty then
And he’s not guilty now
Of killing anything but time
And he measured his breath
As he pocketed his pride
And he quietly watched life go by
From the register side
Yeah you can waste your whole life
From the register side
It’s about the in betweens and all the grief that you get
It’s about the in betweens and you’re not dead yet
It’s about the in betweens and you can lie to yourself
It’s about the in betweens
It’s about the in betweens and all the grief that you get
It’s about the in betweens and you’re not dead yet
It’s about the in betweens and you can lie to yourself
It’s about the in betweens
And he measured his breath
As he pocketed his pride
And he quietly watched life go by
From the register side
And he quietly watched life go by
From the register side
And he quietly watched his life
