Red Eyes

When I got nowhere to go

I take a trip way down below

Where everyone is someone you know

But you can't remember how

But I listen to them when they speak

I fall down to my wicked knees

There's something else beyond the trees

Where the time is always now

I'm drinking motor oil

And cursing at the setting sun

Hoping I find better soil

Before my day of work is done

Met a feral young Chantus

Likes her beer with V8 juice

She taught me about love and truth

And she got in my lane

She's got a voice to beet the band

Trouble dealt with every hand

Make no mistake, there is no man

Who can keep her soul restrained

I'm drinking motor oil

And cursing at the setting sun

Hoping I find better soil

Before my day of work is done

Just 'cause you got nowhere to be

Doesn't mean nowhere's all you can see

If freedom is all you can get for free

So go tell it up on high

Before water is all you ever known

Go make some river back at home

You might find you aren't so alone

Under the naked sky

I'm drinking motor oil

And cursing at the setting sun

Hoping I find better soil

Before my day of work is done

I'm drinking motor oil

And cursing at the setting sun

Hoping I find better soil

Before my day of work is done
