07. Pillar of Salt

from OK Midnight, You Win by happy jawbone family band

lyrics

all this rain
must be perfect for a pillar made of salt
but i guess I'm out of luck
i've been out so long in this savage dust
that i lost my favorite tooth

when i burn
i will burn like 16 candles on a cake
oh my, what've i done
look at the mess that i've become
i forgot my own birthday

all my life
i have been feeling for a pillar mad of salt
when i find it it will peel me and roll me into a ball
and throw me into the tall tall grass

all my songs
have a different ending than the one i really need
but oh well it's not so bad
if i'm lucky i might be a fad
and then retreat back to the waves

when i cry
i will cry like it is 1945
and i'm on that silver screen
all alone on a foreign beach
and the sea is smelling good

all my life
i've been receding like a pillar of salt
i should have seen how it deceived me
into thinking it's my fault
when i know it's no one's fault but the moonlight

all my life
i have thought that this was happening to me
but it's not and i can't complain
it feels so good to forget your name
and pretend you never were

when i fall
i will fall like alfred hitchcock on a pin
but it's not my lucky day
i've ruined my life in a brand new way
isn't that the way it goes

all my life i've been walking backwards
to a place that i can believe
i should have seen it was the sand that taught me
how to give and how to receive

happy jawbone family band Brattleboro, Vermont

we were all born in a bathtime suicide mission. nothing was left but a pair of sunglasses that are still bleeding to this day. at the stroke of midnight you can hear them sing out of desperation.
