Beating St. Louis Lyrics & Tabs by Shilpa Ray & Her Happy Hookers
Beating St. Louis
guitar chords lyrics
For all the excuses we use for destroying our lives,
Was it two and a half years of bad timing?
We fought in the streets of our neighborhood
Like drunk tornadoes tearing plains
We fell till our skulls
Shattered the ugliness of St. Louis
Who knows who's been keeping tabs?
Who struck the first blow?
A bitter boxing Bukowski won't explain us now
Can't see you as a child no more
Can't see you
Can't see you in your mother's home
Catching frogs my orphan when you felt brand new
Can't see you as a child no more
Can't see you
Catching frogs my orphan when you felt brand new
Can't see you as a child no more
Can't see you
Can't see you in your mother's home
Catching frogs my orphan when you felt brand new
Was it a waste of time? Was it a waste?
Oh oh oh
Was it a waste of crying? Was it a waste?
I don't know
Cry cry till your eyes don't close
Cry cry
If you can make it to another show
Cause we both believe the Mid-West can use an ocean
Cry cry till your eyes don't close
Cry cry
If you can make it to another show
Cause we both believe the Mid-West can use an ocean
I clenched my fists to the motion of your dying car
Till all of the city St. Louis drowned around me
Our shovel left in disgust
We watched Law and Order, till our shame grew numb
While the drummer danced with the devil in his underoos.
Our shovel left in disgust
We watched Law and Order, till our shame grew numb
While the drummer danced with the devil in his underoos.
Was it a waste of time? Was it a waste?
Oh oh oh
Was it a waste of crying? Was it a waste?
I don't know
Cry cry till your eyes don't close
Cry cry
If you can make it to another show
Cause we both believe the Mid-West can use an ocean
Cry cry till your eyes don't close
Cry cry
If you can make it to another show
Cause we both believe the Mid-West can use an ocean
