lyrics

Held together now by duct tape and safety pins.
Another rip has just formed in my jeans.
And in me.

Rags on rags.
Covered by rags again.
Patch and stitch and sew to save what covers me.
Buttons missing.

Losing a screw.
Nothing is new.
Holes in my shoes.
Everything is bruised.

A dirty, dirty joke.
A stiff, stiff drink.
A nighfall with no falling down.
A mended old friend at it’s end.
At it’s end.

Losing a screw.
Nothing is new.
Holes in my shoes.
Everything is bruised.

Broken strings.
Worn out things.
Boats that sink.
Tricks to sustain.

Everything is bruised.
