letra de a suitable exit - ryan davis & the roadhouse band

there is no currency in that which could have been
and it torments you
i never asked to be born
i was only wondering where the door went to

now here i am at the kitchen table
it’s just me and the wacky call-in morning crew
and a plain-clothes fireman
who claims to know what kind of night i had
by the taste of the morning dew
(by the taste of the morning dew)

the fireman, he keeps the table wet
he lets me guzzle it dry
wе drank the warblers to work
trading half-truths benеath a muslim sky

i wonder what form the fables take
when the neighbors wake and robins begin to bustle and cry
one day along the way
we lost one lone piece of the puzzle
but the prodigal piece of our puzzle is nigh

and if in fact back somewhere in the pack
i asked to be born
i am only wondering why
death has loaned us to life
the morning crew’s gone static
the fireman is half-sick but stubborn as a headstone font
we shove the ghosts back in the attic
sit back and watch the living grab at what the dead don’t want

we reenact an action fl!ck
having a laugh and sipping sauvignon from a squirt gun
the fireman admits that he had never seen the sequel
i said i never even saw the first one

and that when in fact there’s currency
in that which could have been, it’s rarely much
so i sit back and watch the living
split the check for what the dead had barely touched
we split the check for what the dead have barely touched

i sit alone now at the table
while the village burns with an innocence that’s child-like
| change the batteries in my radio
and settle all my grudges with the wildlife

this house will soon burn too
there’s nothing you nor i could do to protect it
so i call in for a whack at the morning crew
whom too see death as a suitable exit
for death has loaned us to life
and to it we shall report twice
for death has loaned us to life
and to it we shall report twice
death has loaned us to life
death has loaned us to life
death has loaned us to life
death has loaned us to life
death has loaned us to life
death has loaned us to life
death has loaned us to life
and to it we’ll return
in the morning light
