lyrics

Red wood burning down a down sack
Still birth breaking up a wheel track
You ain’t born for the dream side
Fingering your butter in the rain cold
Hush your mother underneath the brain sore
Tie your brother right under the bridge more
You say you ain’t a dreamer, you ain’t gonna run
Slitting up a wrist by the sea shore

Three time looser with a bucket of oil
Hard a s a nipple on a botox groin
Shivering your face on a strange love
Murdering a thought in the backseat car
Dance in the gutter with a junkyard dame
Fall back knocking out your first name
Your belly’s on the floor, don’t you answer that door
Sonofabitch you know, you been passing on your brain sore

Tingling a sentimental backwood slope
Breaking every knuckle on fishbone dope
It’s no man’s land on a telephone call
It’s a poor man’s plan down a demerol doll
Bird off bringing in a cartwheel jack
Zip up the facts on a point blank gun
Never got a home run, never got anything done
He did you high on a minute of fun

Played away your luck
Slept through all your dreams
Can you hold a thrill?

Down in the city street on a snare drum beat
Screaming out your lungs like a madman
You’ll never leave your stain here
Better count your days my dear
Can the man in the pigskin suit rewrite my past with his broken tooth?
It’s too late to be regretful
Just get me rid of my brain sore

Played away your luck
Slept through all your dreams
Can you hold a thrill?

Tightwad churchmen pointing out a killjoy
Words of wisdom on a late night tune
You ain’t born for the dream side
You ain’t born for the dream side
You’ll never climb that hill, boy
You’ll never climb that hill, boy
You’ll never climb that hill
