Kangaroo Court

(album: In A Tidal Wave Of Mystery - 2013)

There's a dark part of town
Where the girls get down
And I cannot wait for a chance to go
Wait for a chance to go

I've got my bad luck shoes and every excuse
To dance these blues away
Ain't coming home
I ain't coming home

Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court

Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court

In a dusty room I come to assume
That I've been doomed
To lose my mind tonight
Too weak to fight

So I try to save face
And I rest my case
The judge pulls me aside, says, "C'est la vie
Let your darker side come out to feed"

Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court

Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court

All rise...
I can't do sexy [laugh]

I commit the crime of wasting time
Always trying to rhyme
Yes, I am guilty
But don't misunderstand me

I admit defeat
Then I move my feet
My history will never be repeated
I won't ever be repeated

Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court

Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court

Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court

Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
