I think she came over to feel worth
More than a body in the ground
Poured her a drink to calm her nerves
But this Earth had broken her spirits down
Said, "hang around, let down your hair"
And talked about the others that were buried there
We danced and took a moonlight stroll
But that's when I wanted to be alone
So I took off the coat
Went home and kept working on my vest
She had secrets she wanted to get off her chest
I'll take the burden if you need
And I'll spill my guts if you follow my lead
'Cause I need to feel comfortable in my own skin
But I think I like the one that you're living in
So I'll cut to the chase
Just don't try to leave
‘Cause these hands are stronger than you were led to believe
It's always a drag to be on the fence
About who you are and its consequence
But God knows I'll do what I need
That's why the Devil came and sold his fucking soul to me
'Cause I need to feel comfortable in my own skin
But I think I like the one that you're living in
So I'll cut to the chase
Just don't try to leave
'Cause these hands, these hands
Are stronger than you’re led to believe
And I was afraid that the neighbors would hear her cries
But I wasn't made to feel anything that's mine
I am not sure how to classify this & it really doesn't matter... :) This album is superb & filled with incredibly playful melodies & wicked humour - especially in the lyrics. The humour in the lyrics reminds me a little of a modern day Tom Lehrer even if the music is totally different but it is the playing with words & having a ton of fun while doing it that does it :) Thank you so much to tesla_666 for taking me here! I love it & highly recommend it!!! bmurator
fell into Days n' Daze when I was travelling, thanks to some of my road dogs. I don't have that freedom anymore but I feel a piece of it Everytime I listen to their music. love y'all! thefool309
