We were working part time all the time.
But we were begging on the kindness of strangers
and loved ones and those that fall between
to give us everything we need,
because we need everything.
There was a single arm that was inside of us all.
A mattress in the back.
Where we slept.
Straight into the dead.
How we slept.
Well you like things that shine.
The lower rivers and evergreens.
And I, I was fine.
I was broke but still alive.
I was fine.
We got drunk and calling sick.
And we fell like it.
We were working part time all the time.
And then things got steady.
We grew cautious.
But we were trying just to gain some experience.
For whatever was coming next.
For whatever was coming next.
And every motive came into question.
You kids have seen this all before.
You were watching TV and you were having some conversation.
About,
about,
about,
about all those things that you might take.
If that one animal of ours would break.
Well you
like things that shine.
But cannot breathe.
And I, I was fine.
I was broke but still alive.
I was fine.
We got drunk and called sick.
Well we fell like it.
We got drunk and called sick.
Oh we got drunk and called and sick.
