about

2014 remix/remaster

lyrics

Preached a sermon about leaking shoes and a fever-ridden head
While standing sideways on broken heels in a Salvation Army bed.
My hair was shining wet glistened from Where The Water Goes Over The Road.
She licked the tears from my fingers, and swore she'd carry my load.

My kingdom for a drink...
My soul for a song...
As the tattoo on my arm says I'm taking too long.
Toxic waste and perfume, Lord, smell sweet at dawn
As we dream about a future, two minutes past gone.

Oh, to whore yourself for cab fare for a ride on a dead-end street.
Leads to redemption, regret, and flesh tied to a leather seat.
You sell the house and the wagon...set out for the seven high seas.
Learn Italian in theory, but it all comes out Portuguese.

My kingdom for a drink...
My soul for a song...
As the tattoo on my arm says I'm taking too long.
Toxic waste and perfume, Lord, smell sweet at dawn
As we dream about a future, two minutes past gone.

I've got "mistake" down to an art
But I'm so fucking sad, and I miss you so bad
That I feel myself...I feel myself tearing apart.

My kingdom for a drink...
My soul for a song...
As the tattoo on my arm says I'm taking too long.
Toxic waste and perfume, Lord, smell sweet at dawn
As we dream about a future, two minutes past gone.
