Gin and Jews

from Lanterns by Moonraker

/

lyrics

Put my baby backbone under my pillow,
and pray my grown up spine will grow in soon.
Lower the bar a couple inches more,
I've got so many conclusions left to jump to.

I'm so scared you might know everything I'm scared of,
and I'm so sorry I can't say it to your face
when six states over on a barstool next to strangers
I can't stop confessing all of my mistakes.

But reminiscing's still for assholes,
I'll hold my head high in this lasso.

Gin and jealousy: not my best qualities.
They're all getting sick of me and my Magic Johnson positivity.
Gin and jealousy. It's not nineteen-ninety-fucking-three
and I know paint thinner aint cheap, but this portrait's gonna need a better me.

You were smiling, I was hiding, I need a new pair of eyes
that won't liquify if you see me in the checkout line.

String me up by my hands and my feet.
Every 23rd spring, give me something to eat.
And when the birds are all gone, tell me all that I missed
in the middle of the cornfield on my crucifix.

So I guess it's fine.
Maybe next time.
I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry,
but are you sorry you never call me?
