this song is still one of my favourites ever, and has been stuck in my head for weeks. all i want to do is listen to it...but unfortunately, i lost my only copies of this song (which i downloaded off the band's website back when it still existed...circa my fourth year of college) in a hard drive death and a minidisc death, respectively.
it would make my life to hear this song again.
texas hold 'em
by no particular night...or mourning
with one false step you could cut me in two
and i'm breathing backwards just to make do
but your sinister stare has caught me off guard
so i'll throw up my hands and ask why
and i'm waiting for whatever you're giving
forevermore
a sacrifice now for my sorrows
and i'll stuff it in sacks
and rain down on you like july
you say i'm no good at lying
but i never acquired your taste for the trade
so i'll keep on dying a little each day
which should suit you just fine
'cause you can't stand to see me alive
and i'm waiting for whatever you're giving
forevermore
a sacrifice now for my sorrows
and i'll stuff it in sacks
and rain down on you like july
you've got just one more chance
to make me feel better
you're building the fence
to ride out the weather
in that self-pity cellar you built there for me
forget it
it's over
goodbye
and i'm waiting
for whatever you're needing
i can't stop the pain
if you can't stop the bleeding
with your shit-eating grin
you're pissing apologies
but i'll sit and smile while you cry
i'll sit and smile while you cry
i'll sit and smile while you cry
forget it
it's over
goodbye
