Album: Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Your Anger
You're a treestump color-wheel
Remainder with the chance to feel
Fighting father firefly
And thinking it's ok to cry
I was scared I saw the snow
It's sooner than I'd like, y'know
And god-forbid I made it through
Pretty voice, I'm missing you
I saw you maybe in the front yard,
With a fruit spilled down your chin,
You cried "Who's laughing now?"
Well look who knows their what's and how's
And if you ain't got the drug,
Please have the time
The gin and sin coincidental rhyme,
And if you're not gettin' yours I'm getting mine
Daylight come and daylight go,
Records warp I saw the snow
Fall outside of my window
Whiskey warm asleep I go
Since when did I write poetry?
Since words didn't mean a thing to me
Since being down meant singin more
Since I became so insecure
I saw you maybe in the bedroom
With a knot around your waiste
You laughed "I don't know how"
It turns out I was bluffing now
But if you ain't got the drug,
Please have the time
The gin and sin coincidental rhyme
But if you're not getting yours
I'm getting mine
I saw you maybe in the bathroom
Stuffing quarters down your shirt
You asked me how I learned to trust
When jesus is ashamed of us
But he ain't got the drug, he ain't got the time
The afterlife coincidental lie
But you know the fucking truth and so do I
But if you're not getting yours, I'm getting mine
