imaginary ocean

the tail lights burn red

they were hotter than hell

and i’ve been long gone couldn’t you tell

the smoke in the air

couldn’t hide my shame

saw it lit up on that silver screen

and ahh that full bellied moon she’s a shinin on me

yeah she pulls on this heart like she pulls on the sea

and you came on strong like some running wave

and your beauty left me broke and hungry

left me begging to the birds for a bone or an offering

left me saying nothin, nothin, like i always say

and ahh that full bellied moon she’s a shinin on me

yeah she pulls on this heart like she pulls on the sea

and those broken hearted lovers,

they got nothing on me

This house
She’s holding secrets
I got my change behind the bed

In a coffee can,
I throw my nickels in
Just in case I have to leave

And I will go if you ask me to
I will stay if you dare
And if I go I’m goin shameless
I’ll let my hunger take me there

This house
She’s quite the talker
She creeks and moans
She keeps me up

And the photographs
Know I’m a liar
They just laugh as I burn her down

And I will go if you ask me to
I will stay if you dare
And if I go I’m goin on fire
Let my anger take me there

The shingles man they’re shaking
The back door’s burning through
This house she’s quite the keeper
Quite the keeper of you

I will go if you ask me to
I will stay if you dare
And if I go, I’m goin crazy
I’ll let my darlin take me there
