lyrics

Labor day was over when that young boy drowned
I was on the boardwalk working ZZ Top and Jackson Browne
You been looking younger and wearing less and less
Wish the waves would pull us under, free us from this ugliness
When this was The Turtle man we always scored
Black guitars knocked down the doors but they don't do that anymore
Holding up the bar tonight she's eyeing me
I am given over to my emptiness entirely

OH LORD
THOUGH I KNOW YOU'RE ALL AROUND ME
WHEN I CLOCK MY HOURS
AND COUNT MY QUARTERS
I CROSS MYSELF
AND I QUESTION IF YOU'VE FOUND ME

OH MY LORD
THOUGH I KNOW YOU REIGN ABOVE ME
I FORGET MY MISSION
I LOSE MY CONVICTION
I CURSE AT THE SKY AND I WONDER
IF YOU LOVE ME ANYMORE

FORGIVE ME MY LORD

Longnecks on the boardwalk wrapped in naked thighs
Animal expression ever etched into my vacant eyes
People come to see me, come to call again
Late at night it's easy lie in secret enter all of them
Look at Little Sister into Little Wing, Gimme Three Steps Mister grant me amnesty for everything
You was with my brother in your Sunday dress
Wish the waves would pull us under, free us from this fucking mess
