Crackerjack Tattoo

(альбом: Waking Bullets At Breakneck Speed - 2017)

Stuttering, someday my reins are all sore
The wind off the water slams the car door
And I watch as you wander through thickets and scrub
To a radio sitting in a broken bathtub, yeah

You sing like a scarecrow and you dance like a queen
Wish I could join you, but I'm stuck in between
Because I'm just a racehorse, sunk deep in the sand
Playing my washboard in a cheap country band

And a new shirt, a good day to dance
Where is she now, just look out on the grass
She's a teen queen, a daydream machine
A crackerjack tattoo, a hole in my jeans
You know what that means
Yes you do

Now, I've got my breakdowns and I've got my shirt
Digging so slow, fingernails full of dirt
So now, hold on, my memories are wicked and south
Won't you let me smell your skin

It's the only way I know how, it's a good day to dance
Where is she now, just look out on the grass
She's a teen queen, a daydream machine
A crackerjack tattoo, a hole in my jeans
You know what that means
Yes you do
That means
Know what that means
