Acid Tongue

I went to a copper

To fix a hole in my shoe

He took one look at my face and said

"I can fix that hole in you."

I beg your pardon, I'm not looking for a cure

I've seen enough from my friends

In the depths of the Godsick blues

You know I am a liar

You know I am a liar

Nobody helps a liar

Cause I've been down to Dixie

And dropped acid on my tongue

Dripped upon the land til enough was enough

I was a little bit lighter and

Adventure on my sleeve

I was a little drunk and looking for company

So I found myself a sweetheart

With the softest of hands

We were unlucky in love but I'd do it all again

We built ourselves a fire

We built ourselves a fire

You know I am a liar

You know I am a liar

And you don't know what I've done

And by the rollin' river

Is exactly where I was

There was no snake or cure for unlucky in love

To be lonely is a habit

Like smoking or taking drugs

And I've quit them both

But man, was it rough

And now I am tired

It just made me tired

Let's build ourselves a fire

Let's build ourselves a fire
