|
A young girl give me a good luck charm.
|
Put a snake on my neck and a bird on my arm.
|
Got one good leg 'cause the other went South.
|
Got a brand new crutch and a brand new mouth.
|
I got a sheriff's name branded where I should
|
have kept clean.
|
If you get too close you're going to know what I
|
mean.
|
And I know when I'm old the only runnin' gonna
|
come.
|
Away from lips and the fork of my tongue.
|
It only gets to me in times like these.
|
And times like these are getting to me.
|
Put your hand in the oven there's a heaven
|
inside.
|
It burns straight through but the devil don't
|
mind.
|
Because he takes what he wants and he finds what
|
you hide.
|
And it will buy you a place on the Lower East
|
Side.
|
I rolled a number last night and I walked in my
|
sleep.
|
I could feel all the nerves in the tips of my
|
teeth.
|
As they crumbled into dust and washed into the
|
sea.
|
Finally shut my mouth so I could hear myself
|
think.
|
It only gets to me in times like these.
|
It only gets to me in times like these.
|
It only gets to me in times like these.
|
And times like these are getting to me.
