Spinning Like A Top
(专辑: I'm A Stranger Here - 2013)
When I
was a
rover, met a
four leaf clover, she was Irish as the
day was long I
thought she'd give it to me maybe, now she's married with a
baby, I've been dodging bullets all along Man, we would creep but never lost no sleep, I
would cut cat nip into the
weed, nobody was the
wiser but they could have been higher and it meant more money for me [Chorus:] Here's to not getting caught, doctor it's only a
graze Spinning like a
top, running like a
villain and the
years are going by like days School bus, I
got on it, I
was nearly catatonic, I
couldn't speak a
goddamn word Homeroom class, forge a
hall pass and we would get higher than the
birds My foolish nature, the
chase for the
paper, I
would deal in the
broad daylight 18 years old, head full of psilocybin and howling at the
moon all night [Chorus] Small town shadows, clean out of sight, nothing to fear but the
coming of that morning light Ducking and dodging and diving for that rent, if it couldn't be broken, it could be bent Washing dishes, stealing kisses, making our deals on the
side She said are you ready honey, we got gas money, going on a
real long ride Lying like a
rug, prescription drugs, old guitars, new girlfriends Everybody shunned me, I
just thought that it was funny and I'd do it all over again [Chorus ]
