Acid Tongue

Acid Tongue
Jenny Lewis​

I went to a cobbler
To fix a hole in my shoe
He took one look at my face
And said, "I can fix that hole in you"​

I beg your pardon
I'm not looking for a cure
Seen enough of my friends
In the depths of the godsick blues​

You know I am a liar
You know I am a liar
Nobody helps a liar​

Because I've been down to Dixie
And dropped acid on my tongue
Tripped upon the land
Until enough was enough​

I was a little bit lighter
And adventure on my sleeve
I was a little drunk
And looking for company​

So I found myself a sweetheart
With the softest of hands
We were unlucky in love
But I'd do it all again​

We build ourselves a fire
We build ourselves a fire
But you know I am a liar
You know I am a liar​

And you don't know what I've done​

By the rolling river is
Exactly where I was
There was no simple cure
For unlucky in love​

To be lonely is a habit
Like smoking or taking drugs
And I've quit them both
But man, was it rough​

Now I am tired
It just made me tired
Let's build ourselves a fire
Let's build ourselves a fire​
