Life Boat
Every time I open my mouth I take off my clothes I'm raw and frostbitten from being exposed I got red scabby hands and purple scabby feet And you can smell me coming from halfway down the street
And I remember that old hotel had quite the smell where I'd go to use the phone Between the donut shop and the pizza parlor where I learned to live alone Sweet sixteen and smiling my way out of any jam Learning the ways of the world, oh my Learning the ways of man
And I didn't really want a baby and I guess I had a choice But I just let it grow inside me this persistent little voice And I guess I got her off and running and run off is what she did And that's part of what I think about think about that kid
So now there's nothing left to wish upon Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com except for passing cars The cacophony of city lights is drowning out the stars This park bench is a life boat and the rest a big dark sea And I'm just gonna lie here until something comes and finds me
Yeah I got this tired old face still grinning most of the time Just 'cause it don't have a better way to express what's on it's mind And I got this running monologue entertaining in it's outrage And I've got the air of an animal That's been living in a cage
Every time I open my mouth I take off my clothes I'm raw and frostbitten from being exposed I got red scabby hands and purple scabby feet And you can smell me coming from halfway down the street
