Song Lyrics

Speedwater

Band: Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons

Album: Butte, Montana 1879

Mouth full of copper is hard to wash down with your tea Vinegar piss stains like badges the whole world can see Answers to questions you can't discuss casually Like why would any of this shit remind you of me See them all line up on opposite sides of the street Their moral convictions are wrapped up in banners and pink Lack of compassion for the way that the other ones think sometimes to stand on the side of the righteous just stinks Speedwater, Speedwater burnin' a hole in my tongue Speedwater, Speedwater kicking the air from my lungs Speedwater, Speedwater the party's just only begun And it starts right here You say that my history keeps you from sleeping at night It worries me too but the past is a ghost I can't fight Battle scars tend to show valor they don't make it right Still actions speaks louder than glamour when held to the light Speedwater, Speedwater sometimes you throw it all out It's never about what they tell you that it is about Speedwater, Speedwater give me a safe place to run Lick me and clean me and cooling me off when I'm done Cause I'm done with you Speedwater, Speedwater burnin' a whole in my soul Speedwater, Speedwater rip it out of my control It's never about what they tell you that it is about Speedwater, Speedwater sometimes I tire of the show Speedwater, Speedwater sometimes this scene fuckin' blows And it blows on you
