Lyrics The Lawrence Arms

The Lawrence Arms

Chilean District

I’m Chilean, underway from a long and snowy winter

Coming on so hard I been living in a blender

I’ll drive this Pinto super slow

Snort this neighborhood up my nose

Heavy is the head that drinks the Crown

And lots of that shit’s been going ‘round

Everybody heard the sound

But that girl really took it down.

Fucking in the hallway, bullets in the shag

I’m ugly but I’m pretty much the best chance you have

I’ll dream when I’m sleeping

I’ll sleep when I die

I die every evening

And break down and throw things

And poison my lining.

Walking on eggshells

Covered in flies

Beating and breathing

Not quite alive

Resolved to do nothing

But lay here and twitch

Till the governor’s men come

And fill up this ditch.

The love that I was promised

Ain’t so ugly as this.
