You Ain't No Saint |
When I met you we were young |
And like gasoline to matches |
Waking up drunk |
Sleeping through your early classes |
I grew up and grew dull |
And you say you wished I hadn’t |
Well I’m drunk again |
And you’re guilty like you’re Irish catholic |
But you ain’t no saint |
I ain’t one either |
Guess that’s why I’m lying here |
Cause I know |
That I’m banged up |
I got bruises I can’t place |
Oh I’ve been coughing out blood |
I’ve got a gut full of ulcers |
They’re gonna burn out like dead stars |
Turn to dust |
If you’re coming here alone |
Then there’s nowhere else to go |
So when I walk in man they know I’m alone |
Dig your anchors in my bones |
Keep your breathing soft and slow |
It’s freezing, I made a blanket from my coat |
But you ain’t no saint |
I ain’t one either |
Guess that’s why I’m lying here |
Cause I know |
That I’m banged up |
I got bruises I can’t place |
Oh I’ve been coughing out blood |
I’ve got a gut full of ulcers |
They’re gonna burn out like dead stars |
Turn to dust |
It gets freezing here after dark |
So I’m searching the car for my dad’s old |
Bills hat, passed down in 93 |
It never got far from me |
He moved to the island from upstate |
And he’d spend Sunday |
Watching the game with me |
Explaining everything |
We’d watch Jim Kelly lead the way |
And if my dad was here I wonder what he’d say |
If my dad was here I wonder if he’d even recognize me |
I’m fucking begging |
I’m fucking begging |
Cause I know |
That I’m banged up |
I got bruises I can’t place |
Oh I’ve been coughing out blood |
And I know |
That I’m banged up |
I got bruises I can’t place |
Oh I’ve been coughing out blood |
