I got demons at my bed side
At night they keep these eyes wide
There always a devil to the left or right
That I keep in my peripheral sight
And theres an angel on my shoulder
But he won’t tell me what to do
So I’m losing faith in sanity just like I lost faith in you
I won’t stick to what I know
I keep on looking for something new
This place is full of spectres
And they all look just like you
The world keeps on turning
Stuck on repeat and thats what I hate most
So if inspiration should strike me then I’d be a gracious host
For now I say fuck it
Lets raise glasses
Make another toast
To used to the monstrous midwest
To keep California dreaming of the coast
Bumping gums at a juice joint
Half seas over
A lean away on the make
And toots I’m hardboiled
Spy a little light shining round the corner
How the hoi polloi adored her
Oh she ain't used to the boredom
Oh no one could afford her
And this dames a dime piece
A minx with moxie
Sharpened claws and a bright disease
I waltz with the breeze ask if she’s rationed
Want to collect a few pennies from heaven
Nods with no question
Grabs the barkeep and they necking
The parlor distracted and clapping
Pocketing the mazuma with no flash of my weapon
Thats the cue to boot and scoot with no direction
Mentioned she’s not the type that would cash him
The banks closed he would never cash in
And I’m no flapper still a little bashful
A little ragamuffin rascal
My talons on the billfold
Not afraid of robes and sickles
Nix the wooden nickels
What a gas she giggled
To hell with being civil
This way of life is simple
Top hats and thimbles
Bearcats and Bimbos
Bearcats and Bearcats and Bearcats and Bimbos
Lets wake the snakes tenfold
Lets wake the snakes tenfold
Lets wake the snakes and wake the snakes and wake the snakes
Make a change
Lets wake the snakes in the amber grain
I couldn’t help but grin
I gave her the wind
I couldn’t help but grin she’s subterranean
She gave me the wind
She gave me the wind
She couldn’t help but grin
We shared the wind
