Lyrics
There ain't no amount of talent
That you could ask someone to hone
That could make this broken palace
Back into a home
Crooked wars
Crooked battles
Crooked snakes
Crooked ladders
But if you let go of your malice
Stop staring at your phone
Go on past the soft palate
On deep into the throat
Crooked wars
Crooked battles
Crooked snakes
Crooked ladders
With all this never-ending sadness
And all your sullen, bending tones
You're gonna scare all these frightened rabbits
Back into our holes
Crooked wars
Crooked battles
Crooked snakes
Crooked ladders
See, the thing about love, is it's gotta be funny
If you're drunk and your bored though, sometimes it gets ugly
Wanna settle the score?
Then act like you love me
Your lying black eyes take me for a dummy
We're cooking with coal and the engine is soaring
Won't matter no more what you walk to the store in
You're a good kid
You're a sharp tac
Gonna make it down, down to the bottom and back
I am unsatisfied
When the sun, it goes goodbye
Don't wanna live, don't wanna die
Just wanna lie right next to you
If I could solder the wire in this microphone cord, I could maybe afford another day on my back
But I can't, so I babble and rant
About the parasites I've given my blood
When kerosene gleams, the titans are coming
Best listen for the humming birds' hum
'Cause earth breathes deep, god awful funny
So trade in all your money for love
If I had a dime for every lie
I'd never buy another truth
I would die just to show you
That love is blind, but love is true
