about

from Lonnieclaire VI "Tilt and Wilt"

lyrics

I punch tickets on this downbound train
Shift's not enough time to clear my cluttered brain

Kinda mixed up but my intentions are good
You alway say I take more risks than I should

What else did I think I'd find?
When I bought this rusty guitar and gave it a shine

Did you think I’d write you a thank-you card?
for chiseling out my heart with a glass shard

Can I sit in the backseat for a spell?
Oh why is my life such a living hell?

Punch the same tickets get the same fares
Just another day with no answer to my prayers
I always wanted a different life
So I save up for a Corvette and got a wife
But everything went south in the dark of the night
I guess wasn't ready for this fight
Living with the dreams we know
And feeling the pain that we show

Why do we fight to survive
When we don’t really give a damn?
We don't save our fucking dimes
and everything else is sins
And why are we blowing in the wind?
When we control the hands
We can kick and scream as we live in this dream
But we can’t change where the altar stands
