O Emperor - Sedalia lyrics

rate me

You were the brains of the operation

I was the brawn, so I swallowed my tongue

Money is a good preocupation

We were the ones who never lost

But we never really won

Think I'm getting tired of this trail

Footsteps don't trip light

Chest is getting tight

And I think you know what I mean

That was your way

You'd always know, but no

You'd never say...

I was young once I can still recall

Staring in the mirror, not recognising at all

Something must be lost along the way

Eyes that cry the words they cannot say

I can see them all back in Sedalia

Hands puttin' smokes to mouth

Eyes seeking others out

I might learn me a rag of two

Something to pass the time

Keep me off my mind

Stay where the law won't find...
