lyrics

Ragtime Richie used to to tell me how the days go/
And they go slow, and they go slow, and they go slow/
(X?)
But he never said that they’d come for me/
Fit in sheep’s clothing so comfortably/
The salting of sinners was up to me/
And I made a pillar in front of me/

But he never said they’d string me for my spine/
Living on the line between a picture and a frame/
We seem to come here all the time/
And everyone around amounts to nothing but their name/
I was sick of playing games, when the plane came crashing to my main frame/
An observation at Griffith Park when the rain came/
And how dare you be you out there/
While I’m stuck out here, where you have to fucking fish some care/
‘Trust none’ in a head full of widow maker/
‘Bust one’, the dead do not easily anger/
‘Undone’, open mouth releasing vapors/
‘First son’ the only was probably a favor/
And I just, might just love somebody/
And I just, might just touch somebody/
And I just, might just snuff somebody/
And I just, might just catch a body/
(X2)

Cause they all talk big and they all cast shadows/
Old yellow finger kept a notebook in his flannel/
Old yellow finger wrote a life without a hassle/
Old yellow finger is his own fucking castle/
Cause they all talk big and they all cast shadows/
Old yellow finger kept a knife beneath his flannel/
Old yellow finger kept a knife beneath his flannel/
Old yellow finger kept a knife beneath his flannel/
And I don’t even want to talk to ya’ll/
I don’t need a bunch of actors for a monsters ball/
I’m like five sheets to the wind, eat the chagrin/
Peep the glory, the grief will be the end/
And it’s all triple sixes in the lonely old room/
And it’s all simple fixes when it’s only you and you/
Please teach me how to unfold/
I’m fucking breaking, and we’re all getting too old/

I wanna stab your fucking world.
