The Credit Song, From Jonah
Lukewarm water gasping down a rusty drain
Big town's in need of mending, street lights make tooth some seams
Denim shadows shuffle in between the beams.
Different strokes for different folks so
Mind your manner and easy on the ethnic jokes
It's a dumbbell curve, your trying to tally,
All the way down to shin bone alley
Streets are metacarpal and flesh of asphalt calm
Buildings rise like fingers from a concrete palm
Yellow lit apartment trickle through the drapes
Windows frame each history hidden ev
It Don't Get Better
Woke up this morning with my head so heavy
Thought about leavin' on the next train comin'
Sometimes it gets so easy runnin' from town to town
But changin' beds won't change this feelin'
That I'm gonna drown
Too many hearts are broken, we never ask why
Too many sunsets, just passin' us by
Come on down, don't be shy
Do you wanna be happy or you wanna be right
Chorus:
It don't get much better than this
There's nowhere left to run to
No use worryin' 'bout what you missed
'Cause here it is baby
It don't get better than this
We talk and talk and never know what it means
It really doesn't matter 'cause
Nothing's ever what it seems
All I ever wanted is here with you
But sometimes baby I get
Wrapped up and confused
Let's go on down to the edge of the sand
Take some time, take my hand
So much here we don't understand
So kiss me like the world's gonna end
Chorus
