letra de angst & ivory - the brothers gillespie

[verse]
she’s got a black tattoo with a story on her side
a story that will bore you from a drunk and spotty mind
she’s got an oddly optimistic attitude
at least on all the days that she gets up before noon
she’s somewhere safe up on the mountaintop
living in a tent while her towers in the shop
and when it rains, and believe me, friends, it will
she’ll skate on bricks of ivory to the bottom of the hill

[pre chorus]
and someone’s gonna be there
to catch her when she does
you tell yourself it won’t be you
but you know you wish it was
and she don’t miss a single chance
to talk about herself
but she seems to be content
as far as we can tell
[chorus]
she don’t know if heavens real
and she’s not sold on h-ll
she’s full of angst and ivory
but her love handles well

[verse]
she’s somewhere safely in the company
of someone that she calls a friend but he might disagree
her bags are packed and sitting by the door
one shoe on her foot and one foot higher off the floor
but she don’t hide and she don’t run away
she just finds it hard sometimes to care enough to stay
but when it rains, and believe me, boys, it will
you’ll wish you’d ate the bullet and not the long and painful pill

[pre chorus]
‘cause no one wants to be there
to watch ol’ yeller die
sometimes you’d rather be the dog
than let ‘em see you cry
and she’ll be on the next flight
to jump out of her plane
the things that they call crazy
are the things that keep her sane
[chorus]
she don’t know if heavens real
and she’s not scared of h-ll
she’s full of angst and ivory
but her love handles well

[bridge]
yeah her love handles well, handles well
it’s built for speed and open road
and still stubborn as h-ll
she’s full of angst and ivory
but her love handles well

[verse]
she’s got a black tattoo with a story on her wrist
a story interrupted by a drunk and falling kiss
she’s got a box of rings and charms beside her bed
letters that she never sent with words she wish she’d said
she takes the morning star inside a cup
and a book she doesn’t read a page of once it’s opened up
she’s somewhere safe in walls of ivory
cloaked in grace and dignity but mostly irony

[pre chorus]
and you’re just another detour
in a drunk tattoo harangue
a stop to ask directions
and a smoky bar exchange
and she is just a little fool
in a yellowing sun gown
you’re better than the whole d-mn lot
a rotten little crowd
[chorus]
she don’t know if heavens real
and she’s not sold on h-ll
she’s full of angst and ivory
but her love handles well
yeah she’s full of angst and ivory
but her love handles well
