lyrics

You've got the shimmys and I've got the shakes
Let's all stand up to fall into the morning
It's a full house swing on a bed of nails
'Til the faces pale before the sweltering heat

You couldn't ask for a better one even if you tried
You couldn't ask for a better one even if you lied

Underneath the table there's a man with a handle
With a rap, rap, rap, to know he's still there
She lives in a painted dream and I can tell by your scowl
You did too

You couldn't ask for a better one even if you tried
You couldn't ask for a better one even if you lied...and I know you tried

You've got the shimmys and I've got the shakes
Let's all stand up to fall into the morning
It's a full house swing on a bed of nails
'Til the faces pale before the sweltering heat

You couldn't ask for a better one even if you tried
You couldn't ask for a better one even if you lied...and I know you tried

The Old Smugglers Saint Paul, Minnesota

Scotch and coffee, smelling like smoke and grandpa, truckload of soup cans falling from the sky, Americana shanty sounds of regret and revelation.
