Cuz 789

If you wanna be my lover

Threw a nick into a coin toss
I didn't have a dime
What do you know about me, boss?
Can I take the next in line?
I'm feeling just fine
Curse the ol' boll weevil
I was so inclined
Fit a camel through a needle
And now I'm sowing pine
In the sunshine
I'd never want it any other way

The summer covered me with blood grass and ashes
Sweat in my eyelashes
Carnival lights and bug bites
Death will come for one of us
Took a switchblade on the bus
Show me your guts
I ran away
They had a field day
I'd never want it any other way
(Never gonna want it, never want it any other way
Never gonna want it, never want it any other way)

My Uncle Andy let me see his machete
We took it through the woods and cut some sassafras
We took it through the woods but it was more like a forest
Now I'm lost in a field up to my ears in grass
I got drunk on a cup full of the promise of an old man
I got drunk on a cup but it was more like a glass
Now the smell of sassafras is on my hands
I gave the machete to Betty Spaghetti
And now we're counting creatures in the clouds
Betty Spaghetti but it's more like angel hair
We are laying in a field, I don't know where
Betty Spaghetti saw a rabbit eating carrot
And now I am too drunk to see at all
She saw a rabbit, but it was more like a hare
Where we are, I do not care
I'm with Betty Angel Hair and I would
Tell you the truth but it's more like a dare

Sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away, fly a kite
Won't you, hop the fence, hop the fence, hop the fence into my life
3 AM, here again, in the back of a car, housewife
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly knife

I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, can you see it?
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
