Shakey Graves - Word of Mouth lyrics

rate me

I see a girl thats blue like the sea

When I go to sleep you know that she sees me too

Standing around like the popular kids

Hoping saint peter will let us in too

He says if you value your life stay off the drugs

If you value the drugs stay off the map

If you value maps you better travel son

If you don't want to travel than you better run

I knew a king in his purple throne

He had some trouble so hes all alone now

Oh, I used to bring him little presents from time to time

He'd sit me in his castle and he'd pick my mind

He said if you value your heart stay on the road

If you value the road stay on the top

If you value the top you're gonna suffer son

If you don't want to suffer then you better run

Well I see my boss in his practical suit

I'll toss him in the cellar wont give him no food

When anybody tries to tell him what to do

He holds his breath until he turns blue

He says if you value your job stay out of crime

If you value the crime stay out of doors

If you value them doors you better lock 'em son

If you don't want to lock em you better buy a gun

So finally I saw a snake in an apple tree

You know i didn't trust a word that he hissed to me

He said it must be gettin' awful lonely tryin' to save the world

Just buy a collared shirt and try and fuck some girls

He says if you value your limbs stay in the game

If you value the game stay in the style

If you value that style you're a sinkin' sun

If you don't want to sink then you better run
