Sage Francis - Water Line lyrics

rate me

I just sit there, and let the thoughts flood

And I remind myself it's all right, it's all good

It's all love, it's not though

Cuz there's a kink in the armor

A pot hole I'm sinkin' in, the more I think of the drama

So I stand up, I start to pace in my living room

Set my eye to the highway, knowin' that I'll play chicken soon

There's a vanity plate, wit my name on it

There's a Davy Crocket hat with a masonic fat cat under it

A musket rifel spittin' at my feet

And want me to dance in the middle of the street

And I respect my elders, so I do as I'm told

But I've offset the bell curve when I do it with so losin' control

Guilty feet do have rhythm

They just dance to the wrong theme music to amuse the villian

Instead of killin', I spare the raccoon

And start fillin' sand bags as I stare at the moon

And let the thoughts flood, blessed are those who are damned

When the levy broke, how many choked on the steps of a slow dance

A staircase to a hug with no hands

Accountability hung out to dry on the line of command

We let the thoughts flood, we remind ourselves it's all right, it's all good

It's all love, it's not though

Cuz there's a kink in the armor

A pot hole I'm sinkin' in, sharing a drink with my father

It's a family affair, the vanity we share

The water line is rising and we do is stand there..

The water line is rising and we do is stand there [repeat to fade]
