Solitary Life
Better keep the heat off 'till the snow falls I'll fill up on whiskey, rye and reruns Scrambled Perry Como Keep the volume down low Or wake her fragile sleep
Oh, how there's longevity in silence Maybe I'll just sing myself a tune Or when January comes I'll find myself a gun And do away with all these quiet sounds
Solitary life Come and get me, Jesus Christ I'm the last one you expected But you never resurrected Could not wait another second for you to rise
Quietly the visitors escape And I am left alone to recuperate From a dire expedition And a fiery rendition Of a humble life
Brooding just beneath the varnished pine The wicked smell of death and turpentine Well, I'd offer up a flower But, my intentions have grown sour Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And my tears have dried
Solitary life Come and get me, Jesus Christ I'm the last one you expected But you never resurrected Could not wait another second for you to rise
I traded in the winter for a soft bed Pastel Gladiolus, fist of ashes Above your lovers feast Below the hungry streets I'll be laughing
It's the permanence that makes you tear your shirt Or claw with desperate hands at frozen dirt But you cannot change the wind Or the pallor of my skin Oh my sweetest earthling Oh my sweetest love
Solitary life Come and get me, Jesus Christ I'm the last one you expected But you never resurrected Could not wait another second for you to rise
