lyrics

MATCHBOX

You’re a real good person
That’s why I don’t tell you much
You’ve done some real clean living
I’ve done a touch
I’m beat, blind, and digging
And your tooth ain’t cut
I spoke in fragments and fidgets
You spoke and had nothing to say
I spoke and I swallowed my coffee
And I choked on the rest of the day

You’re a brave, broken rascal
Man, you’re a car wreck
You’re a bottom-dwelling bastard
You’re climbing like a cat scratches
You purchase your next days
With a matchbox full of ashes
You’re right and you’re wrong and you’re honest
You pull at your blood comet trail
You’ve clowned around tugging on tears
You’re a bad guy and that’s why I’m here
You’re a bad guy and that’s why I’m here
That’s why I’m here
