lyrics

Feet fall on the sidewalk
I am full of intent
And you could never know me like I know the cement
I said, three, four, fire!
I've got maddening desire
My pockets full of rolling rampage, barely required

Roll up my tights and sink my heels in damp ground
But this is a town meant for settling down
Whiskey on my breath
I must confess I have left myself to lay down and rest
I cannot lay down with the rest

Why, oh why would excellence take me?
Shredding leaves
My hands won't stop shaking
Why, oh why would excellence need me?
Painting walls
My hands won't stop bleeding

Salty, calming silence
I am holding my tongue
Refusing to polish all the trophies I had one
I said, four, five, slip
I am loosing my grip
My gravelly induction never could get its fix

Why, oh why would excellence take me?
Shredding leaves
My hands won't stop shaking
Why, oh why would excellence need me?
Painting walls
My hands won't stop bleeding

Why, oh why would I even want it?
Choking back the taste of fresh vomit

This is my last snowstorm
I would be so uninformed
This is my last snowstorm
I would be so weather worn
This is my last snowstorm
I would be so unadorned
