Big Galoot Lyrics
don’t go far for very long, ya big galoot.
the air is thick with a terrible want,
a glossy lip licked with a slippery guarantee.
collecting it’s pay,
and nevermind what gets into its way.
it whispers right in
to the emptiest spaces under your skin.
come straight home when you get done,
ya big galoot. a weekly wage in a pocket so steep
will slip away listing all the things it can’t reach:
a diamond ring,
a holiday where sweet goldenthroats sing,
a car that don’t break,
and you chalk the reasons why
we stay with you up to a sad mistake.
all i want is a bed,
is a bed to lay down in
beside a body i know
like i know my own self.
and your goldenthroat
doesn’t hold a candle
to our lonely old barn owl,
so take your diamond rings
and throw them down the well.
all i want is the red,
is the red of your skin pressed
into the blush of my own
when i’m flush against you.
so take your holiday dream cars
and let ‘em sink to the bottom of some slough,
and get yourself back home to me
ya big galoot.
the air is thick with a terrible want,
a glossy lip licked with a slippery guarantee.
collecting it’s pay,
and nevermind what gets into its way.
it whispers right in
to the emptiest spaces under your skin.
ya big galoot. a weekly wage in a pocket so steep
will slip away listing all the things it can’t reach:
a diamond ring,
a holiday where sweet goldenthroats sing,
a car that don’t break,
and you chalk the reasons why
we stay with you up to a sad mistake.
is a bed to lay down in
beside a body i know
like i know my own self.
and your goldenthroat
doesn’t hold a candle
to our lonely old barn owl,
so take your diamond rings
and throw them down the well.
is the red of your skin pressed
into the blush of my own
when i’m flush against you.
so take your holiday dream cars
and let ‘em sink to the bottom of some slough,
and get yourself back home to me
ya big galoot.
