Acid Tongue

I went to a cobbler

To fix a hole in my shoe

He took one look at my face

And said, "I can fix that hole in you"

I beg your pardon

I'm not looking for a cure

Seen enough of my friends

In the depths of the godsick blues

You know I am a liar

You know I am a liar

Nobody helps a liar

Because I've been down to Dixie

And dropped acid on my tongue

Tripped upon the land

Until enough was enough

I was a little bit lighter

And adventure on my sleeve

I was a little drunk

And looking for company

So I found myself a sweetheart

With the softest of hands

We were unlucky in love

But I'd do it all again

We build ourselves a fire

We build ourselves a fire

But you know I am a liar

You know I am a liar

And you don't know what I've done

By the rolling river is

Exactly where I was

There was no simple cure

For unlucky in love

To be lonely is a habit

Like smoking or taking drugs

And I've quit them both

But man, was it rough

Now I am tired

It just made me tired

Let's build ourselves a fire

Let's build ourselves a fire
