Got an earthquake shack near Elbe

Got a garden of dyin' cars

Covered up deep in the mud of the powerline road

And at night I can hear the lockjaw

And the swagger of the devil's tongue

Comin' on down from the wires of the powerline road

Sayin' that tomorrow's just a cheap shot at today

And that we've gone beyond our reckoning

And if we don't face the troubles now, our families will betray

And that's the one good reason left to give

And it's almost wisdom

Geneva took the kids back home

Never heard from her again

That's back when I worked all them 12-hour days

Now I idle here wickedly, right through the thick and thin

Never to believe what I cannot live

Knowin' that tomorrow's just a cheap-shot at today

And that we've gone beyond our reckoning

And if we don't face the troubles now, our families will betray

They'll take the one good reason left to give

I was drunk on her suspicions

And a fifth of Early Times

I went down into Elbe just to pick a fight

And there behind the laundry house, was Geneva in a car

She opened the front door and shouted to the night

Shouted that tomorrow is the last chance for today

Shouted soon we'll have our reckoning

Shouted that the trouble here leaves us nothin' to betray

And nothin' is the one thing left to give

And it's almost wisdom

Almost wisdom. X3
