Current song lyrics
I woke her up twice in the middle of the night<br />To ask what her name is and where she might live<br />To ask how many fingers she saw in this light<br />To ask if she might know what gives<br /><br />She said we rolled that camaro like a cowboy cigarette<br />Out on the highway in a puddle of beer<br />That?s just about how close to death you?re gonna get<br />Till the only thing standing is fear<br /><br />Chorus:<br />Singing, oh darling, faces were changed<br />The names of the innocent, the story at five<br />Oh darling, faces get strange<br />But only the song survives<br /><br />She said, now don?t you remember they put a patch on your eye<br />Like dread pirate roberts, you looked so unplanned<br />They cut off my wedding ring and you started to cry<br />A one-eyed niagara falls man<br /><br />Chorus<br /><br />I said, but I never married - I said with surprise<br />And is this the diamond you said that you lost<br />It was under my eyelids when they flushed out my eyes<br />Hell and I don?t know what the thing cost<br /><br />Chorus twice<br /><br />But I woke up sweating to breakfast in bed<br />And there were my children, and there was my wife<br />Post-traumatic stress, of just a bump on the head<br />Or maybe the ride of my life<br /><br />Chorus twice
