lyrics

I kicked a liquor bottle as I ran across the road,
I prayed for a needle so that our cloth could be sewn!
But I’m penniless beneath your gaze, so I hope to God up high,
That today would be the day that I’ll reclaim my blue skies.

Go

My shy smile screamed volumes as my voice cracked open wide,
I whispered I was sorry, words that burned me inside,
They spewed like flames, consumed the shame that I once bore,
I swear to God I’ve never felt a love like this before!

Go?!

I kicked a liquor bottle as I ran across the road,
I tried to hold my happiness, but I know it must’ve shown,
As the sun dipped like breadsticks into the margarine mountaintops,
The dawn sighed in warmth as the men brought down their shops.
