24 Hrs. Ago I Could Breathe/Dec. 11th Lyrics
God said it's fortunate
how the noose surrounds your neck
Christ says its blasphemy
how the Devil is heaven sent
And Hitler painted Christmas scenes
of ice caps on the snow
And I forgot to breathe
24 hours ago
Now that Earth has flipped around
from ozone to mire
And the last dependable thing
is that my newspaper arrives at five
And I'm on the short end
of the ugly stick
for being fascist
Not sure what I believe in
but I'm sure of what I don't
cause it doesn't deserve it
I'm the shiver man here
trapped in your father's Ford
In your back seats I'll fuss around
Got nothing good to do
except wait alone
Home
A gravel road runs beside
a rusty wire fence
The evening sun cuts past
the cracks of public trees
And something moves in the ditch
beneath the weeds
The birds forget to sing
as the tractor roars
Ffortitude
wants a lie
Brace the stock between your knees
like you've done before
Put barrel in your mouth
much like you deserve
I deserve far worse
I'm the shiver man here
trapped in your father's Ford
In your backseats I'll fuss around
got nothing good to do
except wait alone
So alone
You should have went "wait, wait"
I'm the one you claim to love
Yet I'm alone
In your back seats
I will wake up cold
I'm all alone
In your back seats
I will wake up cold
I'm all alone
In your back seats
I will wake up cold
One more step
to turn the hand of God
Ffrom divine
to planned
flips upside down
Shiver man
you could have jumped in
from the mezzanine
to plunge or fly
how the noose surrounds your neck
Christ says its blasphemy
how the Devil is heaven sent
And Hitler painted Christmas scenes
of ice caps on the snow
24 hours ago
from ozone to mire
And the last dependable thing
is that my newspaper arrives at five
And I'm on the short end
of the ugly stick
for being fascist
Not sure what I believe in
but I'm sure of what I don't
cause it doesn't deserve it
trapped in your father's Ford
In your back seats I'll fuss around
Got nothing good to do
except wait alone
Home
a rusty wire fence
The evening sun cuts past
the cracks of public trees
And something moves in the ditch
beneath the weeds
The birds forget to sing
as the tractor roars
Ffortitude
wants a lie
like you've done before
Put barrel in your mouth
much like you deserve
I deserve far worse
trapped in your father's Ford
In your backseats I'll fuss around
got nothing good to do
except wait alone
So alone
I'm the one you claim to love
In your back seats
I will wake up cold
I'm all alone
In your back seats
I will wake up cold
I'm all alone
In your back seats
I will wake up cold
to turn the hand of God
Ffrom divine
to planned
flips upside down
Shiver man
you could have jumped in
from the mezzanine
to plunge or fly
