Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's no instance
In conscience or convenience
Even though you stand on heavy shoulders
[Verse 2]
I'll take the roundabout
'Cause I like to see St. Jude
Again and again
[Verse 3]
Hands folded in prayer
God, do you write prescriptions?
God damn, my signature is fake
I'll take the roundabout
[Verse 4]
'Cause I like to see my house
Number four, number five
Number six, number seven
And number eight
[Verse 5]
And I'd buy you a drink
My credit is quite shit
We can all laugh and have tap water
My friend laughs 'cause he thinks he's having a daughter
[Verse 6]
You can find me at the roundabout
[Verse 7]
And you try the passenger door
Aw shit man, it doesn't even work
And you cry like you've never seen water
And come to think of it I think my dad wanted a daughter
[Verse 8]
You can find me at the roundabout
Where every lotto ticket wins you ten dollars
Inside the city limits that don't even buy cigarettes
[Verse 9]
You hit the back road
You grab a carton
[Verse 10]
Lean into my shoulder
Wearing an old man's coat
Couple more badges and a two cent stamp
Will you love me at the roundabout?
You can find me at the roundabout
