lyrics

o with your silver screen,
waiting for death, only nineteen
and its such a tragedy,
the whalerus and the carpenter kicking their feet

I've got a little bit of money,
it just burns holes in my pants
I've got a tad bit of something else
that I can burn too

deep in your shadow
I fall asleep

oh with your brilliant tongue,
cigarettes and coffee and hte morning almost done
I've got a little gold teeth
I like it like summer and she's like a falling leaf

o how you go to sleep on my shoulder
you breathe like an animal
won't you sleep with me?

it's like an old western movie
and it's only natural to shoot first and ask questions later
but I ask questions to late

(and I guess we like
only sunlight to feel her, to feel hurt)

I asked for water and she gave me gasoline,
you'd be embattled by everyone asking me
