Deadbeat
Did I not present myself well enough
To receive a proper answer
Not offer up a feeling of trust
As the chain tied through a rusted gate
Jagged key cold as the tiled floor
To the house that it protects
Was it not this security
Which I wanted to project
I'm coming back a little later
And I can't help not to laugh
See myself useful and sober
Forever picked last in the draft
Crickets with their fiddles
Gather around for a nighttime rag
Sawing them for old time's sake
Can't seem to catch a break
Now I'm keeping on the search
Now I'm looking for something else
Keep watch high in a birch
Until the ice begins to melt
Now I'm keeping on the search
Now I'm looking for something else
I keep watch high in a birch
Until the ice begins to melt
To receive a proper answer
Not offer up a feeling of trust
As the chain tied through a rusted gate
Jagged key cold as the tiled floor
To the house that it protects
Was it not this security
Which I wanted to project
I'm coming back a little later
And I can't help not to laugh
See myself useful and sober
Forever picked last in the draft
Crickets with their fiddles
Gather around for a nighttime rag
Sawing them for old time's sake
Can't seem to catch a break
Now I'm keeping on the search
Now I'm looking for something else
Keep watch high in a birch
Until the ice begins to melt
Now I'm keeping on the search
Now I'm looking for something else
I keep watch high in a birch
Until the ice begins to melt
