Two Legs - Promises of Youth

LYRICS: I try to raise
The point again
But you're getting colder
I see the phrase
Not again
Tattooed on your shoulder

I been had by the promises of youth
I don't need to be happy I just—

Lies and truth
Dusk to dawn
We tear our words to pieces
Like a tooth
That fastens on
But never releases

From Roland Park
To Curtis Bay
We've worked a long division
In the dark
I hear you say
That you're beyond suspicion

Fight disgust
With alcohol
To quiet down the dread
Or maybe just
A Tylenol
And early off to bed

Call the law
Call the dogs
Call me back to order
I don't know
The good life
But I sure do know its border

Damn your eyes and
Damn your tongue
As I've said before
There's nothing new
For me to want
But maybe I just want more

It's hard to show
Who begins
This petty accusation
But we both know
That it all ends
At Pennsylvania Station
