Acid Tongue

I went to a copper
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 Godsick blues

You know I am a liar
You know I am a liar
Nobody helps a liar

Cause I've been down to Dixie
And dropped acid on my tongue
Dripped 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
We built ourselves a fire
You know I am a liar
You know I am a liar

And you don't know what I've done

And by the rollin' river
Is exactly where I was
There was no snake or 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
It just made me tired
Let's build ourselves a fire
Let's build ourselves a fire
