lyrics

A puff and smoke is gone, the record stopped spinning
The needle has laid to rest, no one is winning
The house has a fresh coat of paint, the year's halfway though now
Blow smoke rings at the moon, the big yellow bastard's grinning back at me.

Rains pooling in the street, the neighbors cats are swimming
Broke down cars rust out in the front yard.

Let’s quit while we’re ahead, and the put the drinks away
You tell me to go on, I wouldn’t know where to stay.

Just like that it’s fall again and everything evolves in the trees hanging bare while the sun hangs so low
The windows are painted shut, it keeps all the heat in
The frosted panes are your fingertips canvas.

Not much in the fridge these days or in the pantry six nights out of seven I’m laying down empty
Sunday is saved for you I’ll spoil you rotten, turn your mind from the lost and forgotten.

Blessed are the meek and I can see all that you’re worth
Can’t stand seeing you go
I hate I see you hurt.
