Revivalist Blues

looks like you've pinned me in the corner
I think you'd say I liked it there
your cousins have my favorite sneakers
but I think they're all afraid to tell

and you borrowed stuff
and never gave it back
I just really miss my belt

If I still had my running shoes
I'd run my ass right out of here
Coz it's time to search for a new passion
and have some kids along the way
I'm losing both my mind and best friend
I'm losing what was left up there

but I'm scared I'm clean out of new options
I'm scared I'm gonna interfere
Looks like we're in for stormy weather
I could sure use those revivalists now
I'd sit them right down under my bed
and lead them in a midnight prayer

and all the things you said you used to say
and all the things you said you could
and all the things you said you wouldn't
and all the things you probably should

looks like you've pinned me in the corner
I think you've tried to stick me here
your cousins have my favorite sneakers
I think they're all a bunch of queers
and you borrowed stuff
and never gave it back
I just really miss inside

If I had my running shoes on
I'd run my ass right out of here
I'd fall in love with a new girlfriend
and have nine months of baby-care
But I'm losing all of of my best friends
I'm losing what was left in here

I used to think I had something to say
I used to think you'd wanna hear
I used to think people would react
I used to think they'd interfere
but no one moves a bone
and not one finger taps
chalk up another severed head
that fell upon my lap

I'm feeling like a cold stone border
I'm feeling like a string of pearls
Looks like were in for nasty weather
because we all just prayed for rain
I'm never going back there again
looks like my times come to an end

if only you could keep my chin up
I could punch a couple holes
if only you could keep my chin up
I could punch a couple holes
