Lyrics for Song: State Street Residential
Lyrics for Album: You Can Play These Songs With Chords (Re-Release) [2002]
Holding fast until the rent checks wear thin,
Because it hasn't sunk in... so far.
Well it's a drab routine, the dust starts building,
Until it's hard to come clean.
Then nine months stack up to an addictive crutch,
As if the drink weren't enough.
A stagger cannot compete.
There's no charm in the residential state street.
And if I was sober,
Would I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober,
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
I wish you could know better than you show,
With parted lips pointing down.
That the whiskey soothes more than you could ever do.
And if I was sober,
Would I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober,
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
And what a difference it'd make.
And what a difference it'd make.
And if I was sober,
Would I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober,
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
And what a difference it'd make.
And what a difference it'd make.
