Clear black liquid
Hits patrons eyes for the prize
Deserved unless
All of it is force fed

Night hands its hat on the chipped and naked rack
Day has made dinner though has chipped n' cracked a nail
Heroes all former stand human blood dark in their eyes
"We came here like you and we'll leave here a little more blue"

A dream of a ****** like a move without a thing to prove
To ask for forgiveness is a wish that should have been

History repeats as debts break n' are getting steep
Alone in the night I smile through my crooked stance
My girl lays alone serving drinks clutching her phone

I try to get through these hours
These minutes
This humorous humming life

I try to make laughter by a
Fire in the oven
But christmas tree is wilting
An' my smile now is tilting

Produce has melted and I've just hit a deer
Melting like a toy soldier
Underneath the eye
Of this summer breeze

Sand in the car
And I left my lady
Today today
I don't feel up to par

I don't cry though for the stars are still shining
Grandma shouts out, "Oh stop your CRYING!"

She is right oh she is right
So I go out west with a string and my faithful kite

Theory hangs on the lips of our cross eyed politicians
We hear their words as we are thinking
Of the girl with the key to her ignition
Planting rules around animals
Is like planting stones
Around flowers

Our brains our getting heavy
Our souls are getting fat
Our hats are getting wilted
As the caves are still filled with bats

I hear these words of ol' Mr. Cash
Whose singing words make people laugh
I see him standing in heaven with his beaut' Ms. Carter
Boy she could sing and move just like she had just started

Too miss such show makes me cry hang and bow
To miss such an applause makes me ruffle my brow

Notoriety for the notorious pill popping pedestrian
The man with a smile the man who walked life's mile


Hell, oh hell, who knew that you'd already laid here on Earth?
Who knew you were here from the quick start of my birth?

Life you mentioned a memory just yesterday
That you said you had forgot
I wish I'd had boughten that camera from you
Right from the very start

Forget or forgive
I am now here to stay
I hear the lonesome river banging
Hang low
A stranger is close approaching
