Acid Tongue

Someone's always paying for that banter, baby 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 I've seen enough from my friends in the depths of the God-sick blues" You know I am a liar (Liar) You know I am a liar (Liar) Nobody helps a liar (Liar) 'Cause I've been down to Dixie and dropped acid on my tongue Tripped upon the land 'til 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 built ourselves a fire (Fire) We built ourselves a fire (Fire) You know I am a liar (Liar) You know I am a liar (Liar) And you don't know what I've done And by the rolling river is exactly where I was There was no snake-oil 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 And now I am tired (Tired) It just made me tired (Tired) Let's build ourselves a fire (Fire) Let's build ourselves a fire (Fire)
