"Word Of Mouth" lyrics
"Word Of Mouth"
Well I see a girl that's blue like the sea
When I go to sleep you know that she sees me, too
Oh yeah just standing around like the popular kids
Just hoping Saint Peter will let us in too
He says, "If you value your life, stay off the drugs
If you value the drugs, stay off the map
If you value them maps, you'd better travel, son
And if you don't want to travel then you'd better run, yeah"
Yeah well I knew a king in his purple throne
You know that he had some trouble so he's all alone now
Well I used to bring him little presents from time to time
He'd sit me in his castle and he'd pick my mind
He said, "If you value your heart, stay on the road
If you value the road, stay on the top
If you value the top, you're gonna suffer son
And if you don't wanna suffer then you'd better run, yeah"
Well I see my boss in his practical suit
You know I'll toss him in the cellar, won't give him no food
Yeah, when anybody tries to tell him what to do
He holds his breath until he turns blue
He says, "If you value your job, stay out of crime
If you value the crime, stay out of doors
If you value them doors, you'd better lock 'em son
And if you don't want to lock 'em, you'd better buy a gun"
Yeah, well I saw a snake in an apple tree
You know I didn't trust a word that he hissed to me, no!
Yeah he said, "It must be getting awful lonely trying to save the world;
Just buy a collared shirt and try to fuck some girls"
He said, "If you value your limbs, stay in the game
If you value the game, stay in that style
If you value that style, you're sinking son
And if you don't want to sink, then you better run"

Why don't you wait a little bit

Spent my days becoming you
Sunday morning, evening too
Sitting in your second pew
Torn apart, my spirit's spent
I fell in love on accident
Wondered just what...
Lewis Del Mar - "Live That Long" X-ray mornings and the mirror cracks again
Bad luck making and my bones are breaking in

Sinking eyes and my thin vacation days
Do I grow or do I fade...
The Wild Reeds - "When I Go" When I came
When I came
When I came I came in peace
I had just been released
When I came I came in peace
When I pray

When I pray each day away
I owl the good Lord will wath my sense away...
The New Basement Tapes - "Down On The Bottom" Down on the bottom
Down to the last drop in the cup
Down on the bottom
No place to go but up
Always been in trouble
Nearly all my life
Always been in trouble
Struggle, scorn and strife
Go find me...
