Lifter Puller

Lyrics to Double Straps



well i came into the city, the buildings made me dizzy

i got kicked out of a fern bar, slept beneath a race

car

i was feelin kinda lucky, the queen of spades just

fucked me

she came with some jack of diamonds, she's standing

right beside him

somewhere



she climbed into my bunk bed, put ashes on my forehead

and the way she touched my eyebrows made me feel so

smalltown, she said

keep this in your backpack, carry it with double straps

keep these wings beneath your baseball hat, you look so

cute like that

i want your autograph

everybody's hangin at the record store, they're gonna

get some records by the gang of four

and now you're 24 and the shore's a bore, everybody's

waitin on the very same score

and the punch is spiked, the soda's flat and your

birthday cake and all your party hats

your party lines and all your drinking games and

eveybody's smokin off the very same flame

and these downtown girls are fast and loose, they'll

work you for a baby ruth

and this club is just a kissing booth and love is just

an ego boost

and ecstasy's an ego trip, makes me feel like this is

it

and this is all there ever was, i wish you wouldn't

call me cuz

i know i'm not your relative, you say that it's all

relative

i'm in the kitchen, i'm in the corner, do you really

wanna get your problem solved
