Not the Worst It Gets

This is not the worst it gets This is not the worst it gets Not the worst it gets Yukon sun rose up a bit On an icy copper track It already seems about to set At least you got a look Just hang on that I'd hang on that Not the worst it gets Did not mean to turn my back This is not the worst it gets Scrambled up an icy track Determined to be fine Never noticed there were other ones Wouldn't make it back time They'll be alright Maybe alright This is not the worst it gets Fold you palms into a map Not the worst it gets Found the key beneith the mat Same old house strewn with trash The power's out, the wood is ash You can pass out on my couch This is not the worst it gets Blocked the door, secured the latch Not the worst it gets You can hear the howls and fingers scratch A morning comes at last The quiet's louder than the crash Ring it in your mind Or let it die Just let it die This is not the worst it gets Follow where your money went Not the worst it gets Buried deep or gone and spent On the guilty days in bed Down the pills and all that cognac All that borrowed stuff you wrecked You'll give it back I'd give it back This is not the worst it gets Quietly you've been calling it Not the worst it gets The cellar safe room lights a crack Cause you've done half of the work And the witching hours are getting short Maybe you will forget You're not alright I wouldn't be Alright This is not the worst it gets An understated jubilance Not the worst it gets A long forgiven moral debt A white moon circles round An implied or an imagined sound Echoes every form Notice this
