Lucinda Williams

imports and altercations

my faculties on a shoe-string vacation

I settled down on a hurt as big as Robert Mitchum

and listen to Lucinda Williams

oh, convenient lies, rubber knives

I'm a dastardly villain, doing belly dives

I before E except after me

I'm dowsing my vitals at break-neck speed

you and your little entourage

playing amazing little parlor games in the garage

like a jury of my peers triangulating

my pretty point of exasperation

yes we gather for some of that Catholic juice

and hide behind the shower curtain, i watch the virgin

spruce

I'm soaking wet and feeling funny

the mirror's a mirage, no wonder I always look so

crummy

my heroes are all off in the great beyond

England is old but Atlantis is gone

feathers are floating down, and I can't dodge them

the tar is oozing from my little noggin

it's ugly ancient residue

there ain't no mistaking what's been abused

feathers are floating down and I can't dodge them

the tar is oozing from my little noggin

it's ugly ancient residue

there ain't no mistaking who's been accused
