Like Cursing Kids Lyrics
I saw your freckles on the shoulders
Of a stranger today
And my heart leapt, my heart leapt
I saw the sickle of your dimple
Slice the side of her face
And my heart leapt, my heart leapt
But then she faced me while we wrestled
For our place on the train
Kabuki makeup, a labret ring
I kept out of her way
You're not that actress playing dress-up
on the subway today
So my heart keeps leapin' on
I tried to catch you in a couplet
On my 4-track today
But my tongue tied, my tongue tied
I couldn't figure how to fit you
On the spin and the tape
See, my tongue tied, my tongue tied
The words are small and insignificant,
Confused and cliche
I saw my promise and potential
Through my guilt and my shame
I couldn't catch that in a couplet
On my best goddamn day
My tied tongue tumbles on
Shake and shiver
And laugh like cursing kids
And all our fitful failures
Fit everytime we kiss
So cross your fingers, place your bets
And hold that glow in your face
Let my big mouth ramble on
Shake and shiver
And laugh like cursing kids
And all our fitful failures
Fit everytime we kiss
So cross your fingers, place your bets
And hold that girl in your face
Let my big mouth ramble on
Of a stranger today
And my heart leapt, my heart leapt
I saw the sickle of your dimple
Slice the side of her face
And my heart leapt, my heart leapt
But then she faced me while we wrestled
For our place on the train
I kept out of her way
You're not that actress playing dress-up
on the subway today
So my heart keeps leapin' on
On my 4-track today
But my tongue tied, my tongue tied
I couldn't figure how to fit you
On the spin and the tape
See, my tongue tied, my tongue tied
Confused and cliche
I saw my promise and potential
Through my guilt and my shame
I couldn't catch that in a couplet
On my best goddamn day
My tied tongue tumbles on
And laugh like cursing kids
And all our fitful failures
Fit everytime we kiss
So cross your fingers, place your bets
And hold that glow in your face
Let my big mouth ramble on
And laugh like cursing kids
And all our fitful failures
Fit everytime we kiss
So cross your fingers, place your bets
And hold that girl in your face
Let my big mouth ramble on

i'm pretty sure it's "i couldn't catch that in a couplet on my best god damn day." it's similar though so i might be wrong.
but anyway, this song really kicks some major ass. the new cd is fantasmal.
ah, yes.. i agree. thank you.
on the album he says, my tongue tied, rather than my tongue would tie.
We can make-up our regret, We now kept out of the way We're not bad actors playing dress up On the subway today
in the cd booklet is "kabuki makeup, a labret ring; i kept out of her way you're not that actress playing dress-up on the subway today"
and it's "hold that glow in your face" :)
i had done this based on the demo and forgot to fix it post cd release..... now, it's fixed - thanks guys.
