Dressed in jealous clothes She drove to the black hole Out past to where the roads turn into sand No crmies worth a dime 'Less you look it in the eye And she drove And she drove Past the debts that he owed Past the ends she can't meet Jumping off is the air that I breathe Jumping off is the air that I breathe And I should have swindled And I should have lied And I should have jumped When the chance was mine Tied up in your sleep Like a tiger with no teeth Can't confess to things you've never done Soup left on the stove And the cellar barred and closed And she drove And she drove Past the debts that he owed Past the ends she can't keep Jumping off is the air that I breathe Jumping off is the air that I breathe And I should have swindled And I should have lied And I should have jumped When the chance was mine Hold your horses And hold your britches And hold the handle on you suspicious drink Drink to your health Drink to your wealth Drink if you think it will make a difference And hold your britches And hold the handle on you suspicious drink Drink to your health Drink to your wealth Drink if you think it makes a difference [email protected]
