I tell tales tall as cliffs You've got a lisp Kid, those things are hard to miss Like my cripple cough All your weekends lost by the lake Well you said I needn't be afraid Of all those devils on the wall That make a fella small When he's feelin' brave They take his wine away There were posters on the wall I swear, my mother saw And I've been up all night Up all night And you came well equipped With a gun on your hip And some poison on your lips But when we wake up in our make-up We'll be clean And we won't have nowhere to be Oh, but I can't talk to you The way I've wanted to I've been tellin' lies But I'll tell you the truth No I can't talk to you The way I've wanted to I've been tellin' lies But I'll tell you the truth Darlin', I'm tired And I should be leavin', leavin' You know I'm tired And I should be leavin' Leavin' tonight Darlin', I'm tired And I should be leavin', leavin' You know I'm tired And I should be leavin' And you'll hang like the rest We'll leave a noose on The attorney's desk Take to the streets Chant like an army And doctor up this disease
