lyrics

Happiest I've been in weeks
rose red rush into your cheeks
if I tell you you're all I need
tell me would you cry when you leave

Pick out all my favorite records
get me high and play them backwards
father john stole all the good words
so I'll just let him speak for me

Baby I got the car back
hurry up and paint your nails black
I've got some courage in my knapsack for the way back

Baby played guitar back
in high school bands with half stacks
now she does surgery and me I can't keep intact

Last cigarettes
finish up don't hold your breath
take one last drag on death
before the singer sings the rest

Sit here next to me
see what you can't see on the t.v.
kids singin poesy and heresy
tell us how it is and how it could be

Could be better
tell us how it could be
could be better
tell us how it could be
could be better
tell us how it could be
could be better
tell us how it could be

I could be better
I'll admit but I can take a hit
spent too much time bein sad about things lately

Unfettered, barely better
than I was before
but at least I picked myself up off the floor
so darlin let's make our way back towards the door
