| A wick with no candle
|
| A wheel with no axle
|
| I ride with no saddle, no lift
|
| Then I’m dragging the kite
|
| A blade with no handle
|
| A brick for your window
|
| I’m fine but I’m single
|
| A dime and I’m the same on both sides
|
| You’re a stone-cold killer, you say
|
| But you’re looking like a part-time criminal
|
| Waive the charade
|
| Man, you lay it on thick
|
| It’s a dive bar, save the game
|
| You drink and you sit
|
| Easy to please
|
| But hard to impress
|
| Im in a mood, new shoes, and a bulletproof dress
|
| Sugar on the rim and a shot of mescal
|
| Man, its murder in the morning
|
| But its good for morale
|
| Can you mortar more
|
| Looks like you’re bricking with both hands
|
| Get the spirit level
|
| Or the skeleton won’t stand
|
| Fuck the plan, man
|
| I’m tryna call an audible
|
| Probable lost cause
|
| But I got a thing for long shots
|
| Yes, yes, naysayers got the wrong job
|
| Best bet when you think they got the wrong odds
|
| And I’ve done some living in a glass house
|
| High note blew the motherfucking walls off
|
| And I sleep
|
| With both eyes open
|
| Standing up
|
| Alone and holding
|
| Off the rust
|
| And I’m still living by my maiden name
|
| The name I came with
|
| The name I made
|
| And I’m bare-faced at your masquerade
|
| Filled a flask up before I came
|
| Because night falls
|
| We all wanna hear that fight song
|
| Car running like a nylon
|
| Brights on
|
| Times right but the clocks wrong
|
| Never set it, never settle in a time zone
|
| Take what I need with me
|
| Pray for rain but brace for whiskey
|
| Something in the tank, money in the bank
|
| Callin it a win we
|
| Give a little thanks, give a little back
|
| Busy with the grand plan
|
| Take one last look
|
| Left the bandwagon
|
| For a banned book
|
| To break out you gotta give up the chase
|
| To make love you gotta take off the brace
|
| And we all leave it feeling half done
|
| Best you can do is just put a hand up
|
| Hope grace and good works in the end add up
|
| Find out when the pendulum hangs plumb |
