Lyrics

So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
 No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
 So deep in this swill with the most familiar of swine
 For reasons wretched and divine
 She blows outta nowhere, roman candle of the wild
 Laughing away through my feeble disguise
 No other version of me I would rather be tonight.
 And, Lord, she found me just in time
 'Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
 I need to be youthfully felt 'cause, God, I never felt young
 She's gonna save me, call me "baby"
 Run her hands through my hair
 She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily
 Better yet, she wouldn't care
 We'll steal her Lexus, be detectives
 Ride 'round picking up clues
 We'll name our children, Jackie and Wilson
 Raise 'em on rhythm and blues
 Lord, it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime
 Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
 Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
 We'd sit back and watch the world go by
 Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust
 We tried the world, good God, it wasn't for us
 She's gonna save me, call me "baby"
 Run her hands through my hair
 She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily
 Better yet, she wouldn't care
 We'll steal her Lexus, be detectives
 Ride 'round picking up clues
 We'll name our children, Jackie and Wilson
 Raise 'em on rhythm and blues
 ♪
 Cut clean from the dream at night, let my mind reset
 Looking up from a cigarette, and she's already left
 I start digging up the yard for what's left of me and our little vignette
 For whatever poor soul is coming next
 She's gonna save me, call me "baby"
 Run her hands through my hair
 She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily
 Better yet, she wouldn't care
 We'll steal her Lexus, be detectives
 Ride 'round picking up clues
 We'll name our children, Jackie and Wilson
 Raise 'em on rhythm and blues
