Johnny Flynn - Kentucky Pill lyrics

rate me

The Kentucky pill

And a cow tipping expedition

And I've seen a fuller moon

Swinging wanton premonition

Did ya ever expect to have more fame than this or that?

Cause there's believing

and there’s taking off your hat

And there's reading

and there's reading this or that

I'm running for my old playmates

I'm running through the town

I'm running with a gun

That’s gonna shoot my playmates down

Did you punch all those clocks?

Did you seal up those time bandits?

If you're playing on the swings

You can’t be in the sand pit

I lied to you when you wore those other clothes

I was into your thinking

Where can I get one of those?

I woulda picked your brains

I would’ve paid you through the nose

I'm running for my old playmates

I'm running through the town

I'm running with a gun

That’s gonna shoot my playmates down

I am running

Oh I'm running

Oh oh yes I’m running

Oh I'm running

Oh oh oh

And the girls that you see

They’re all faster than a train

You see the same girl

But you won’t see that face again

Left the changes down to

fate and happenstance

Picked a viewpoint

Oh and how my girl can dance

Followed empty

Realized she was watering the plants

I'm running for my old playmates

I'm running through the town

I'm running with a gun

That’s gonna shoot my playmates down

Oh I'm running

Oh I'm running

Oh oh yes I’m running

Oh I'm running

Oh oh oh
