Lyrics
Folk Jam
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you enjoy the company
of a descending family tree
Well tuck in your thoughts,
it's there or its not.
the feeling is mutual
Well pardon my birth i just slipped out
origins i can't brag about.
spawn of a bank inquisitor
And theives i wish.
Watch out the snitch also
involves himself in blackmail.
One would think the interests conflict.
Yeeeeah, hooo
(some meaningless gibberish about docks?)
changing the order...
the air is so taut/tight i feel so thin
Hot as the come to closing in
Hot as the gun i'm closing in
and reeap the benefits
Beware the head of state
says that see believes in leprechauns
Irish folk tales scare the shit out of me, yeah
be as it may i'm happy to say i'm around
Miles accrued and passengers add up
the message on a mirror says "stick with me"
Cause no one's there
to read your reflection when i'm gone
get it on
