Tom Brosseau - Axe & Stump lyrics

rate me

Before I met you

I didn't know much

Yes, I could kiss

Yes, I could touch

Yes, I could recite certain lines of poetry

Ah, look at me now

You've really made a mess of me

I do what I say

And I say what I think

Just leave your finger ring on the sink

I'm gonna love you

Beneath the light of the moon

If I ever see the break of day

Baby, it won't be too soon

See that one over there

Think he rules the roost

Little devil's got the nerve to call himself 'Proust'

And running around circles

Like the world's biggest chump

Oh, just wait until I get you between the axe and the stump

I got tight jeans to show my stuff

Got a big bad lip full of snuff

Got an evil eye and a matching wit

I'm so sick and tired, I could spit

How did I get to be this high strung

Used to be I'd have all the time to suck on my tongue

I'm gonna put on a happy face

In an hour or two I'll get up and paint this place
