letra de thanks, claire - the new dress

Loading...

if i don’t make it through winter will you give her my nickels and dimes
will you send her well wishes
will you give her these rhymes

i’ll do all the dishes
and clean up after all of your lies
i don’t know what this is
but i know it’s not mine

deception and hunger fuel desperation
and i am left out of another
plan to resign

so i go on in defeat through the streets lit by autumn moonlight
and i imagine there are fields of blinding light
this light of mine
make it home tonight

i wrote to the president
i can say what it is i thought i was doing
cannot make up my mind

in my many great failures i’ve managed to make me a life
don’t know what i intend to do with it but i guess that’s alright

maybe i’ll get me a survival book, a bindlestiff and a knife
or i’ll meet a nice girl and i’ll make her my wife
that’d be the day
oh, that would be the day

these streets, they have beaten me
and now i see that it’d be nice
to throw in the towel and call it a night

my head in this love feeling far between alright
my wits, they are weak and don’t stand up to might
the stronger the aggressor, the weaker their will is to fight
and one of these days, this boy just might
pick up that stone and hit you in the eye

we’ve feigned a rebellion and sell them all of last year’s lies
unsold boxes and trains, we read them their rights

i’d sing you a song that brings a generation to life
but the music is tough and i forget the lines
have you ever felt helpless and selfish and rather unkind?

well, me, i have not
and i’m losing my mind
but i’m just a kid
i know that is a lie

it doesn’t mean much to sit here with such a false pride
to try to say what is what, it wouldn’t be right

i can’t suggest ways so we could bridge the divide
and in recent days, oh, what’s black or white

i thank you for all of your patience and all of your time
but you haven’t said much
now thank me for mine
i’ll be on my way
naked and ashamed
i’ll be on my way
naked and ashamed
