lyrics

A horror of choices rule my day
Bra-less and blue? or bra-less and blue?
I haven’t decided yet
Celery or cigarette?

Or to sour in the sun
Or split the water?
To reach for the gun or the stars?
Everyday is like a hole in a sweater, a sweater
One thread from falling apart
I’m one thread from falling apart

Shoot some rum
To clarify how I feel
Half empty or full?
Or fully empty?
I haven’t decided yet
To remember or forget

Or to sour in the sun
Or split the water?
To reach for the gun or the stars?
Everyday is like a hole in a sweater, a sweater
One thread from falling apart
I’m one thread from falling apart

I haven’t decided yet
Celery or cigarette?

Or to sour in the sun
Or split the water?
To reach for the gun or the stars?
Everyday is like a hole in a sweater, a sweater
One thread from falling apart
I’m one thread from falling apart
